Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro F60 (3)

Finally, I have found myself a comfortable moment when I can sit down a while and get this little thing done. What I am trying to do is to collect the paint in the spray can with great care so I didn't risk any chance spitting the paint everywhere.

There are a few things to be prepared, a paint bottle; some pieces of clean paper; a straw; a rubber band and some blue tack.

First of all, cover the openning of the bottle with the paper and fix it with a rubber band. Then prepare a 3~4cm of the straw.
Open a little hole at the roof of the bottle. Install half of the 3~4cm straw into it. This time, fix the straw with some blue tack so the straw wouldn't drop into the bottle or rise when the air is pushing from inside of the bottle.

The picture below shows my first attempt tonight.


However, After a few sprays, I felt the need to cut open some little holes on the roof. This let the compressed gas releasing from these holes instead of pushing back towards the straw. (Well, you may imagine by the time the gas releasing from the straw, the paint comes together too!)
So finally, I have opened some little hole around the straw too.
After some careful "spraying", I have collected half bottle of the TS-85 paint. You may notice the bottle looks like a can of coke refresh from the refrige. And indeer it is very cold. I am not very good at Physics but I can tell it is a perfectly physic stuffs. So no worry! When the paint cool down for a while, it is as normal as what came out from a regular Gunze paint.


And here is the finished one, a pure TS-85 paint for airbrushing.

PS: I have just be able to collect half bottle, because then I have collect certain paint in the bottle, an extra spray push a lot of paint from those little holes. I think the size of the bottle and the size of the holes has limited the amount of gas releasing from the inside. I am really not some Physics guys but anyway, I think I can get some more of the paint with ease later on even I have used up this half. So why would I risk messing up the place?!
