Air Brush
RV painting is very different than house painting. It is more akin to painting a giant car, because most caravan painters use spray or airbrush painting. Most people do not have the necessary skills or equipment to paint a RV or fifth wheel themselves. Airbrushing takes a certain type of skill, and both types of painting are more toxic than roller paints because they aerosolize the paint. Never paint an RV without a mask filter.
If you really want to be proud of your travel trailer, take your time. You should use a powered air brush to paint your RV. Air brushing also allows you to mix and match custom colors. Consult your Denver painting contractor on color schemes. Spray paint has many options, but the number of options with air brushing is unlimited. People have come up with some pretty gnarly designs using the air brush. The professional painters can really do some detailed work. Not only can the paint be mixed before applying, thin coats and multiple coats are easy for air brush blending. Think of it like the air brush tool in photoshop. Air brushes' ability to control the thickness of paint is what inspired the now popular photo tool.
Using spray cans to paint an RV is not recommended as a permanent painting solution. If you do need to paint your trailer quickly for some reason, you could use spray paint as a stopgap measure. Spray paint does allow amateurs to do a good deal of customizing themselves. As seen on the sides of box cars, it is not hard to get creative with spray paint. Denver paint contractors do not use spray paint.
Air brushing does cost more, but if you want to get your RV right - and remember this is your home, temporary or otherwise - then you have to ask the Denver painting contractor to use the power spray. If you do it yourself, you will need a compressor, along with the nozzle. The paint nozzle needs around 50 psi to really do the job right. This means around a half horsepower compressor. Do not get a water based paint for RV painting unless you trust that it is really weatherproof and can withstand the conditions everywhere you go.
The air brush should come with a moisture trap which will help the paint spray on evenly. Multiple brushes are expensive for a home job, but you can get different effects and many common lines require different thicknesses. You may also need some professional paint contractor skill to be able to mix the paint that comes in the cans to the correct thickness.
Painting is the single most important aspect of the outward appearance of your home. As a retired Denver Painting Contractor I like to help people make their homes the way they dream. I keep my contracting thoughts on my Denver painter blog.
Is air brush makeup bad for your skin?
I have heard that air brush makeup goes on the skin lightly covering up imperfections without it looking as if you have on makeup. Is it true?
Any make-up you're going to wear is bad for your skin, but to help prevent acne or spots, wash your face daily with good face wash. I suggest proactive. http://www.proactive.com
I dont know where to find spray-on makeup though, but you don't need spray on make-up. Yu can use stuff in a bottle, its like cream and it stays on all day. Make sure it costs a good $.19.99 or around there.

Colors Airbrush
How can i airbruch colors onto a cake at home?
like the background on this cake.. how can i airbrush colors onto a homemade cake? is there a kit? if so...where can i get one & what is it called?
Nice Cake!
An airbrush will cost you at least $200 plus more for the air compressor. I got mine from ebay and I believe it was an Aztec. Works great. You also need special air brush dyes, or paste or powder dyes mixed with colorless spirits (gin etc) but the colors don't always come out the same. Wilton sells a product in a can (Try Michaels or similar store, or online about $5 per can) But I'm not sure they will have the colors you need. Good Luck!

Air Colors Airbrush
"Which airbrush should I buy?" is the most common question asked, either by a new airbrush artist looking to buy their first airbrush set, or someone looking to buy an airbrush set as a gift.
Unfortunately, there is not a one size fits all answer to this question. There are a few key factors that need to be taken into consideration before choosing an airbrush set.
Single Action vs. Double Action?
The first thing to think about is whether you need a single action airbrush set or a double action airbrush set. Here are the key differences between the two: A single action airbrush is the most basic type of airbrush that you can get. When you press down on the control lever (button), the airbrush paint is immediately mixed with the air flow and sprayed out at a pre set rate. To change the flow of paint from a single action airbrush set you need to let go of the control lever and adjust the fluid control valve on the airbrush.
A dual action airbrush set gives you complete control not only of the air flow, but also of the paint flow to the airbrush without the need to stop and make adjustments. A dual action airbrush is the only way to go if you are serious about airbrushing and want to achieve quality, consistent results. There is a reason that professional airbrush artists choose to use dual action instead of single action airbrushes. They're a better airbrush, simple as that.
Single action airbrushes are almost always external mix airbrushes. That simply means that the paint and air are mixed outside of the airbrush body before being sprayed. This allows for the use of much thicker airbrush paints to be sprayed without having the clogging problems that may occur with thicker paints using a double action airbrush.
Single action airbrushes are used mostly for activities that do not require a high level of detail or control. They typically cost less than a dual action airbrush set and are more commonly used by hobbyist and occasional airbrush users. Some of the common uses of single action airbrushes are for spraying coverage on hobby and craft projects, airbrush stencils, ceramic glazes and applying thicker airbrushing paints such as acrylic enamel and automotive clear coats.
A dual action airbrush set is an absolute necessity for any serious airbrush artist. A dual action airbrush set works by allowing you to control the paint flow to the airbrush as you are painting. The control lever works by pressing down on the lever for air flow and pulling back on the lever for paint. By using this dual (double) action lever on an airbrush set, you get total control over the thickness of the line being painted, the depth or tone of the paint and the fading or gradient effect of the paint being applied, all while continuing to paint. This type of control is not needed in every situation, but for any kind of artwork or detailed painting, a dual action airbrush set is a must.
Gravity vs. Suction (siphon) Feed?
Gravity fed or suction fed is a highly debated subject in the world of airbrushing. Which is better? That really depends a lot on personal preference.
Suction fed airbrushes work by "sucking" the paint up a hose that is inserted into the paint bottle hanging below the airbrush. This type of airbrush takes a few seconds to begin spraying because it has to fill the tube with paint before it can reach the airbrush. Most suction feed airbrushes have larger needle and nozzle tips. So an advantage of a suction feed type airbrush is that it can usually spray thicker paints than a gravity fed airbrush because of the larger needle and nozzle sizes.
Suction fed airbrushes are very popular for painting t-shirts and other textiles, as these types of paints are usually thicker and spray better with a suction feed airbrush.
Once drawback to suction fed airbrushes is that they use quite a bit more paint than gravity fed brushes. So, if you are planning to paint things where a lot of the same color paint will be used, or you will be spraying a thicker paint, a suction fed brush is a good investment.
Gravity fed airbrushes have the color cup mounted on the top of the airbrush and, just as the name implies, uses gravity to introduce the paint into the airstream of the airbrush. Gravity fed brushes work best with needles and nozzles between 0.2mm-0.5mm and typically use less air pressure (psi) than suction fed airbrushes do.
Gravity fed airbrushes use a lot less paint than a suction fed airbrush, so making quick color changes is much easier when using a gravity fed brush. These airbrush sets tend to be easier to clean as well, since there are no jars of paint or suction tubes to clean up when finished painting or changing colors.
A gravity fed airbrush can't spray as thick of paints as a suction fed airbrush. Paint for a gravity fed airbrush needs to be thinned to approximately the consistency of milk to work properly. Thicker paints tend to clog the gravity fed airbrushes easier than the suction fed. A contributing factor to this is that the suction fed airbrushes use more air pressure (psi) than the gravity fed brushes, so they are better able to blast out the thicker paints without clogging.
So which type of airbrush is better? Again, it really just comes down to personal preference and what you plan to use your airbrush set to paint. Both the gravity fed and suction fed airbrushes have their advantages. By taking the time to learn about and evaluate which airbrush you should buy, you can rest assured that you'll make a great choice!

What kind of paint do I need for my airbrush?
My mother bought me a used airbrush, and a friend of mine wants me to make her a t shirt.
what kind of paint is preferable? how does it come?
water colors? acrylics? what do i need to do to them, thin them down or something?
my airbrush came with little glass bottles with special lids that connect to the airbrush.
im not sure what brand of brush it is (i couldnt find a name) but it says "AIR-BRUSH" on the side. from pics i found on the internet, it looks like a HSENG HS-38.
so I dunno.
any help?
Basically you can use any paint if you dilute it enough. You can use acrylic fabric paint for a T-shirt. Use a bottle filled with hot water to clear the nozzle when it gets clogged.

What is the best program to do this type of airbrushing?
What is the best program to do this type of airbrushing: http://fc07.deviantart.com/fs27/i/2008/107/b/1/Wrath_by_FountainOfDecay.jpg
I have Photoshop 7 but I do not believe this is the best program for airbrushing. Also, if you look at the black lines, they taper at the ends perfectly (like a calligraphy pen) and I cannot figure out how to get photoshop's line tool to do this. I have an art degree (long before Photoshop was invented) and can paint with an airbrush, but I would like to do this digitally and need to find the best tools.
