So this is my first time using an airbrush. Ever! If things go this easy, I figure I will have this done to Smithsonian quality by the end of the weekend. 

Actually, I got back on island last night after a brief 2 day stay on the mainland for a meeting. While there I stopped at a local hobby shop and picked up some Vallejo black primer. After doing so, I got home and then happened to read where everyone is having problems applying the primer with an airbrush without a .4 needle or bigger. I checked mine and it is a .3, so I figured, well what is the worst that can happen? I loaded up my airbrush with the primer straight out of the bottle, cranked the air up to 25psi and set out. It actually worked great. Other than the 3 spots on the starboard side which happened on the first shot, it came out smooth I think. Getting used to the trigger and flow will take some getting used to, but other than that no problems. Of course I recognize that I only did a very small area and maybe working a larger area may cause some clogging issues with the primer, who knows. We will find out this weekend when I get the cockpit painted and put together and start to paint the outside.

I may have to take the rest of the day off and go home and start working on the dash.  ;D

Anyway, there you have it.
