I'll remember this demonstration of yours when I start using my air brush. lol, reminds me that in my high school years ago, the chemistry class had a small explosion because someone measured chemicals wrong and tossed them together! 😉 Consistency matters. (no, I wasn't in the class. But in the aftermath, I saw the smoke come downstairs from 3rd floor to where I was on the 2nd floor. In my chem class later that day, we were MUCH more careful.)

I use the cups and the pipettes and I use a scale to weigh my paint and thinner!!!

Well said! Great visual Kregi understand. Thanks 😎👍

Holy Cow!!! That makes perfect sense. Glad you figured this out

That’s very interesting! This will be an issue especially if you add hardner in the mix! I will definitely be using 3 cups from now on !

Cool demonstration. I've always done it using the one cup method. Now I see why things didn't come out right. Thanks for sharing.

Good point. Never thought about the pipe totes & cups being off. I’ll definitely have to check myself. Thanks Kreg👍👍

Very good information, this will be helpful to many of us, maybe we could even paint almost, partially, in the same zip code, as well as you do! Thanks for sharing this tip.

VERY EDUCATIONAL Kreg 🏆🏆🏆🏆Thank You for Sharing This n Happy Belated Father's Day 🙏🤗 Gary.

Very interesting. I consider myself a novice air brusher. That's okay your method of using MCW paint helped me immensely. Thanks Kreg

Great information 👍🏿

That was a great observation. Thank you for sharing that with us!

Interesting demo. Thanks for sharing Kreg. I do get my supplies from hobbynut models. Jon

Great tip Kreg! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to be trying my hand at airbrushing soon. I’ll keep this in mind. 🙌🏼✌️😎

Thanks for the info and the demo, Kreg. I imagine that makes your pain jobs a lot more consistent and fewer random outcomes. I did some math and that extra 1ml or so, in scale, is about an ounce and an ounce in a 1:1 auto paint mix is a BIG deal. I think I'm going to start "wasting" those 2 cent cups.

Awesome visual, Kreg! When I start airbrushing, I'll keep an 👁 out for that. Thank you!👍

I would have never thought of that. Thanks for sharing. I still rattle can a lot and would really like to up my game. I have only airbrushed 1 car and it turned out good but was a lot of extra work

Interesting demo. I guess rhat's why I never measure when mixing my paint. Since I use mostly craft paints, as long as I mix to a 2% milk consistency, it sprays very well for me. When I worked as an industrial painter, I used a Zahn cup to get the proper mix. You are very much on point though, even slight changes to your mix ratio will affect the appearance of the paint. This video should be a great benefit to those just starting out air brushing👍

Very interesting. I never measure in the cup. I measure based on how many ml i pull into the pippette. So, I've never noticed the cups are off.

Very interesting

Thanks for the tip kreg.

Good info thanks

Awesome video Kreg ❤😊

Another great instructional. I opened my new air brush and used MCW lacquer. I'm saving this video like I did with your enamel V lacquer video. I feel like the lacquer sprayed a little rough and dry. I know I didn't prep how I should, and it was my first time. There's a video of it that I'll post in the future, I'm sure I'll get hammered on. Do you ever thin lacquer?

I use a good digital scale that goes down to 1ml this way I never have an issue mixing all the components perfectly.

Interesting I never would of thought of that I didn't know that they weren't equal

I ran into this issue when trying to mix acrylic resin, to cast small parts using these cups. Many times i would end up with parts that wouldn't cure. I ended up switching to Rx bottles that were straighter, and i marked my own lines. It's a shame because that's the measuring cup the mfg includes with the resin and they know it's not right

Use a scale and do it by weight.

Since I'm starting out mixing paint for the airbrush this is an eye opener. However have you tested from the opposite end. What if the 2.5 mark is wrong? Not trying to be an ass. But just curious.

Since MCW is ready to spray why are you adding thinner?

Yeah, those style of cups and pipettes are not scientific grade volumetric measures. They will all involve a degree of error/imprecision. Much better to go by weight, as some have noted, if you are after a higher level of precision and repeatability.

What is this word "MULTIPULPAINT" ? From your title. LoL

Nice information. My cup runneth over. 🫗🐭👍
