Product Spotlight: H&S Evolution Series

Posted on August 11, 2019August 29, 2019 by airbrush

The often overlooked Evolution Series from Harder & Steenbeck is built with the same quality and exacting standards as the super popular Infinity Series. However, H&S is able to offer this line at a lower price point by cutting out some of the less important features (such as quick fix handle and distance cap.)

New Needles from Harder Steenbeck!

Posted on July 17, 2019July 17, 2019 by airbrush

New! Stronger, Better, Easier Needles installed in Harder Steenbeck airbrushes…

The new V2 needles are made from a material 1/3 harder than previous needles.

The design has improved too with a double taper right where the paint breaks free from the needle. Making it optimal for detail work and better flow.

Plus! They also now have notches shaped on the back of the needle which indicate size, making it easier to change sizes.

Frisket Film is Back!

Posted on June 13, 2019 by airbrush

For about a year or so now you may had noticed that frisket film has been almost impossible to come by. All major brands like Artool, Badger and Grafix were completely sold out of rolls and pads and not making any new frisket at all. This is because the manufacture that made the special adhesive used in making frisket film went out of business and was evidently the single source for all the brands making it.

Grafix has finally released a frisket film using a new adhesive formula that is getting some good feed back and will most likely become the new standard. The film as always is still easy-to-cut, repositionable, translucent and wrinkle-proof.

Grafix Frisket Film is available it 9×12 pads, 12″ rolls and 24″ rolls.

New! Alphanamel Enamel Paint

Posted on March 18, 2019February 20, 2020 by airbrush

For decades 1 Shot Lettering Enamel has been the go-to enamel paint option for pinstriping hand-painted lettering, and sign painting. The 1 Shot brand (now owned by PPG) and its iconic yellow can, has enjoyed very little competition in the industry. Enter Alpha 6, a company that has skyrocketed practically overnight with its innovative line of products and aiming to be a real disrupter with its new line of Alphanamel Lettering Enamels. Available in a variety of terrific colors with terrific names like “Max Grundy Grey” and “Bombshell Deluxe Pink”, Alpha 6 corporation really seems to have their fingers on the pulse of custom automotive and sign painting culture.

” Alphanamel Lettering Enamel is the most durable, opaque, single stroke enamel on the market. It has been scientifically formulated to meet the needs of today’s professional Pinstripers and Sign Painters. The single stroke coverage allows for faster drying times, a higher gloss finish, elimination of brush marks and increased profitability. “

Posted on November 11, 2018November 11, 2018 by airbrush

With its .2mm hand polished needle the Paasche Vision airbrush can achieve INCREDIBLE detail. Passche really stepped up their game when they released this a few years ago as they phased out the famous AB turbine airbrush. This airbrush is no joke!

I love love paasche airbrush. 🤩
docgomez6

I recently returned to Paasche!! I purchased the TA#2. I was stuck overpaying for Iwata parts, whenever a tip or needle would get bent!! They had me over a barrel!! But, NO MORE!!!! I started out with the VL#3, as a t- shirt artist. And, I loved embarrassing my coworkers! I could pull a finer line, with my #3 needle than they could, with the finest needle that Iwata had ta offer!! I am so, INCREADIBLY happy, now that I have the best, back in my hands!!!!! PAASCHE RULES!!! find me at docgomez6, on Instagram…

Spotlight: Harder & Steenbeck Ultra Airbrush

Posted on September 29, 2018September 29, 2018 by airbrush

The Harder & Steenbeck Ultra is a high quality airbrush stripped down to the essentials. It uses the same .2mm needle and nozzle as the higher priced H&Ses, so the quality is there but the features are limited. Perfect for the beginner who just wants to focus on learning the craft. For more advanced users who like working with the needle cap off, better to step up to the Evolution or Infinity line because as you can see here the needle and nozzle cap are one piece on the Ultra. 🤓 Read full Review.

Ultra Solo $90
Ultra 2-in-1 $124.70

The Art of Show Card Writing

Posted on June 11, 2017 by

Below is an interesting page from The Art of Show Card Writing published back in 1919. “Showcards” were what they called temporary signs made from cardstock that were displayed in store front windows. (So it’s essentially a sign painting book.) It depicts an artist at work on a sign using and airbrush and a foot pump compressor. The text offers some technique advice that is still relevant today. (Well, minus the foot pump.) You can find the whole ebook version for free on Google Books.
