HOW TO GET PAINT TO FLOW
1881007
to get the paint to flow you need to gently squeeze the tube and run the tip over a scrap of fabric, much like a ball point pen when you 1st get it. If after several tries this does not work follow the instructions to replace the tip.

Yes the paint has to be mixed. That wasn't a problem for me. I just mixed the second color a little less than the first color and it turned out good.

Knead it thoroughly with your hands. I like to get it wet with water first. Clay lubes help while using on paint surface but I usually just keep a spray water bottle along to make the clay easier to slide.

You are suppose to keep it wet which is hard to do. After I completed the project a professional told me I should use a paint roller brush next year as it is a easy way of applying.

I get horribly wavy lines when I draw a straight line at slow to medium speed. I also get them drawing a perfect circle with a circle template. I am RMAing mine as we speak for that reason.

I used paint tap along the edges. It worked well on the flat parts. Not so perfect on the corners. I kept it thin and watched it close.

Easily. Just sand lightly and spray a fog of primer (dark) prior to spraying black. Be careful at the recesses not to let the paint gob up or miss a complete coat. You could even use different pull hardware; perhaps silver. And if you want pulls in a different location, fill in the 2 existing holes with pegs & putty, or just putty with adequate drying time, prior to priming.

Just add a little water or Flowtrol to thin the paint out a bit. I've been spraying latex out of this sprayer for 10 years. Hope this helps!

I used a paint pad as recommended. It seemed to work well without streaking.

I haven't ever had any difficulty with ink flow on this Kuretake model; once the ink cartridge is seated properly in the body (and the brush pen's internal apparatus has pierced the seal on the cartridge), ink has very quickly moved out into the brush fibers. If you're still having difficulty with ink flow after a bit of time (say fifteen minutes), you might try shaking the capped brush pen (gently) back and forth a few times, then uncapping to see whether the ink has started to flow into the brush nib. If this doesn't work immediately, try it again. If two or three tries hasn't produced ink flow, you might try a drop or two of water on the brush nib in case there is some size blocking the capillary action. I do hope this helps!

If you tip the paint canister horizontal, aiming the nozzle at the ceiling you'll quickly run out of paint. It will only work when the canister is full. If you are using latex paint - check out my comments.

I sanded down the old RustOleum paint and used IdeaPaint. IdeaPaint works as designed. I've had it for about 18 months now and it still works great.

Yes choose dark setting also make sure your drawing is dark the darker the image the more carbon will transfer

I actually just got mine to work after a lot of research. Someone posted in a review that you must keep some space between the paint jar and the airbrush. That little niche where you attach the brush and jar? Dont put in the jar all the way. Another thing, is that if the can is too cold (from extended use), you must warm it up to get it to spray at a proper pressure. DO NOT heat up the can too much, just run its bottom under ot water for 2 - 3 seconds, or warm water for like 3 - 5. I actually just keep the can in my lap for warmth - it extends the amount of spraying i can do before the can becomes too cold. I actually just got mine to work after a lot of research.

This toy did not work at first. Then we pumped 15-20 times. Don't press the sprayer. Turn the grey cap a lil to the left to open it. take the marker & press it in the cap until you hear a click). Next turn the grey cap to the right to close it. Now the sprayer is ready to spray. It make take several attempts for the color to spray out. It is a little messy, but washes clean with soap/water.

I just used water to mix it to the consistency that I needed. Using Latex paint depends on what you're using the paint for.
