Conclusion:





Cheepy Aztek brush on Badger holder.  Note: colr cup right befor I lost tiny black plug in lawn ( I knew I was going to loss a fiddily piece.)

Water Trap & Pressure Valve being held in place with Bogan Clamp&Arm, Works very well. Air Pressure worked well best between 22psi and 18psi. any lower that 18psi and tip clogged any higher and spray may splatter

Some of the liquids involved. NOTE: brush which is dipped in Airbrush Thinner to keep tip clean, A MUST!
