Paache AB Turbo

[airartist]

I come from the photo realistic illustration world. I had done this type of painting for 18 years. I have just recently transitioned to the bike painting industry. I wanted to bring that kind of realism and detail to a market where people are more willing to pay for an artists skills. O.K I guess I can get to my question:
Is it impossible to use urethanes and other auto paints in my Turbo AB? It provides incredible detail, and it is the brush I have used for all of my work in the past.

The Turbo AB should be just fine. I use iwata and the main problem with those is that they don't come with a solvent proof needle bearing and only Coast Airbrush will put a teflon replacement in them. I've only heard of the turbo AB so, I would just consider if there are any part that could be eaten up with solvents. Also, it me a while to figure this out, most uro's are thinned 1:1 or 2:1 paint / reducer. To spray well in a airbrush (fine detail), I mix the paint 1 to 10 or 20 parts reducer. Just watch out or you'll spider it.
