AIRBRUSH ERROR!

sierra · 02-13-2008, 10:50 AM

I HAVE BEEN USING MY NEW AIRBRUSHING SYSTEM FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK, BUT I STILL CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT DOWN 100%! I'VE ONLY HAD TO TOUCH UP ABOUT 5 PEOPLE, BUT THOSE 5 PEOPLE TELL 5 PEOPLE AND SO FORTH! I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO MAKE IT HARDER THAN IT IS! ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT!

Please, no caps!

Well I cant help unless I know what you are doing. How exactly are you spraying them?

Golden rule: Two coats are better than one and its an art, everyone can do it but not everyone can do it well.

What system and solution are you using?

sierra · 02-13-2008, 10:55 AM

THE COMPANY TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T BE DOING "COATS". JUST ONE COAT, THEY SAY, IF I LAYER IT CORRECTLY! I AM SPRAYING THEM FROM BACK TO FRONT, LEGS TO TOP, SOMEWHAT CIRCULAR MOTIONS! IS THIS INCORRECT?

Why are you YELLING?

calsunmil · 02-13-2008, 11:02 AM

Definitely not one coat. I use two and sometimes a little more depending on the customer's skin type. Technicians start where comfortable, you can do back to front, I do front to back, with the face being last and then I start another coat. I don't use a circular motion, I "fan" with a steady continuous movement, up and down with legs then torso/mid area and horizontally for arms. I have not had to touch up one customer as of yet.

I just read on another thread that the Norvell solution is not cared for much...

I use Caltan and have had awesome results.
