Mr. Surfacer 1000

Post by leo limuaco »

I bought a bottle of Gunze's Mr. Surfacer 1000 and I'm wondering if anyone of you has ever shot it through an airbrush? I know I can hand paint it on and I kow what it does to paint brushes. I also know that you can get Mr. Surafcer in a can to spray, but I've always wondered if you could. I got some cheap Badger knock offs andI was going to usr one of them to experimetn with. I wanted toask if it wsa worth doing.
Thanks,

Yeah, it'll spray. Thin it with Mr. thinner or lacquer thinner like any other paint .

Tis cool. Good luck. Beware of spiderwebbing. If you get it, back off the pressure.

So I'll be shooting at 25-30 psi. Is that too much? I'll be thinning the stuff like other paints I've thinned, right?
