from a cleanup standpoint what steps do you take to clean the airbrush? flush with water, spray a cleaner through the gun?

When switching colors while painting do you run a cleaner through the gun then resume painting with second color or can you run water to clear color?

sorry if these are real beginner questions, just looking for some advice. Happy holidays!
You don't have to thin Createx but you can with water . If it's really hot or humid I put a drop of extender in the paint to allow the paint to flow better .
When I change colors I usually flush with cleaner and then water , it's probable overkill but what the hell .
Final cleanup I use cleaner and usually a couple on jars of water .
Good luck.
