| what is the best way to paint spinner blades, lets say twenty at a time all the same, but not have them move with the air from the airbrush - I guess, what is the best way to hold them in place? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks |

| Stretch metal widow screening onto a frame. The air flow will pass through the screen and not cause much of an updraft where the blades will move. Paint directly from overhead. |

| I have the spring style clothes pins, I have about a dozen nailed to a 1x2 piece of wood. I have a few of these made up. I can "hold" a dozen or so blades at one time while painting with the air brush. I use "precious" metals and usually don't paint the whole blade, so this might not work for you. |

| What I do is take a large christmas tree ornament hook, and then I epoxy a small magnet to it. You can then stick the spinner blade onto the magnet and it allows you to paint from any angle you want for various effects. It also helps you to get the edges of the blades better with sealer so the sealer doesn't peel. (If you are using sealer) |
