I’m using Krylon-X metals spray paint and I’m trying to conserve as much paint as possible since these cans are expensive. I would like to have more control over the quantity of paint used and be able to maneuver into small nooks and crannies that otherwise are missed with conventional usage.
Is there some sort of adapter or way to hookup the spray can to an airbrush gun?

I am painting chocolate seashells and the only pearl paint I can find is pearl airbrush paint but when I brush it on it pulls away from chocolate not completely covering, what can i add to the paint to make it spread evenly?

I have a Campbell Hausfeld compressor that i use for airbrushing. It somewhat shut off because I think it overheated. It said on the compressor that it had a built in safety feature if it overheated. It also said on the compressor that if it overheated, you needed to let it cool off for 20 minutes and begin using again. I tried that. I waited way over 20 mins and no luck. I’m thinking that if I can’t get my compressor to work, I would buy one made for airbrushing. I believe that an airbrush compressor is cheaper or more inexpensive than a compressor that you would use a whole lot. What do you think? If I can’t fix my compressor, should I buy a new one?

can anyone pplleeease…tell me how to make those cool money nails..like in this pic..it would b greatly appreciated

Can I do this or am I going to run into problems? It bled through the poster board but only after I applied too many coats since the second color wouldn’t stick over the first. I didn’t let the first coat dry. The smell is still pretty strong and I’m wondering if that goes away. Any suggestions?
