you got a double action?

the way i change colors is.... with a single action brush

as soon as im done with the color i take the cup off the bursh and put it under the sink and send a jet of warm water into it. this takes basically all of the paint out. im using createx so it comes out easy. the water rushing into the cup usually is enough to clear out the little tube on the cup the paint goes up. just keep doing that until the cup is clean.

ok... then i disconnect my airbrush from the airhose and take it to the sink. i have a single action brush so i just unscrew the paint nozzle to its most open position and run it under the water till it comes out clean. sort of hard to explain but eh.

for a total cleaning (once the brush starts getting clogged n' stuff) i just dismantle the brush and put the pieces that come into contact with paint in createx cleaning solution. clear clogged holes with a tooth pic etc.

double action brushes i think are much more of a pain. IMO

try to do your paiting in batches too to keep color changes to a min. itll save paint too in the long run.

im guessin you have a double action because of the needle reference so atleast you can see how i clean my cup. i think using the sink is key to doing it fast, just use a piece of screen over the drain, and try to keep the valve dry. (put your finger over it)

i got to go put some red in some popper mouths now.
