Default Re: Question about Iwata Eclipse

some paints are actually corrosive. so even with proper cleaning when you use these paints they are slowly causing wear from the chemicals and the action of the paint gun. have you ever seen waterborne clear, left in an aluminum cup for any length of time? it just chews it up. learned that one the hard way. lol like YRR said spray whatever you like, just clean very well after each use. and dont mix up your cleaning solutions. lacquer thinner and waterborne paints and clears do not mix. the waterbased stuff, such as createx will turn into a very nasty and hard to clean jelly when mixed with solvents. if you are bored sometime, take a dixie cup, a litle createx and try to reduce it with lacquer thinner, or something similar, and see what happens LJ
