I have this battle - I am great at routine but terrible at habit. My wife asks me why I do the same thing every day, and I can’t really explain that I have to do it every day or i’ll stop doing it completely.

Listen. Well done. Just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Now go and put away your laundry. /s

It’s hard to judge any airbrush by white. The pigment used tends to be larger than say a red, so it clogs more frequently.

If you have some primed models, after you’ve cleaned your brush use the paints you have rather than a primer. As someone else said, there’s an additive in the paint to make it a ‘primer’ and that has a tendency to stick tight to the insides of my brush.

I like to take it a step further - make the act of getting ready for the task a separate task. Other folks might see a single job, but when I have some repair work needing done around the house, I need a job to check if I have what I need to fix it, another to work out what I need to do, another to move it all to right place etc.

Thanks for the link. I knew nothing about him and that was cool.
