Okay, I posted last week I was going to breakout the airbrush and start attempting the challange of using it. I had to buy a new compressor as the one we had was shot, so after buying a $99 Task Force 1HP w/4 gallon tank, which I had to take back as the sight glass was broke, oil everywhere [V] I got started. I have a couple of questions: BTW it's a Paasche dual action VLS 1. I am wondering how I tell the different tips/attachments apart? I believe it has the #3, #5 and #1? 2. When I first used it, it seemed to spray paint even when just pressing down without pulling back on the button, I did adjust it, so any tips here? 3. What air pressure should I use, I will be using PollyScale Acrylics. I have distilled water and airbru***hinner. 4. Should I use the little bowl to fill or use a bottle to paint with. 5. How do you guys measure the ratio of paint vs thinner. I want to do detail, weathering type stuff, maybe paint buildings and attempt to repaint some older Atlas cars. Any help would be great. And others are right, I can see this being the way to go for painting and such. I did a test paint of a toy engine with grimy black, I have a ton of this paint, and I was extremely pleased with the coverage, and how thin it went on. Thanks...
