Apex airbrush cleaning

Post by NellyTF »

Quick Question. Can I use Acetone to clean my airbrush after using clear coat and Lacquer paints?
Neil. Have a great day. :banana:

Sure you could
Likely will accelerate deterioration of the chrome coating and expose the brass
I would suggest lacquer thinner followed by an airbrush cleaner as a final rinse

Little video of cleaning:
