Ehhh. . good questions! Humbrol enamel thinned with cellulose, ratio
is "until it feels right", air presuure? I don't even look at my
pressure gauge on my compressor anymore but I'd guess around 12-15 PSI
with the airbrush (a Badger 200). Sorry for being vague, but I've been
using the same setup for 12 years now and it all goes by feel these
days, totally intuitive. One of the reasons I keep looking at and
rejecting an Iwata double action airbrush. . . what I have now works,
why change and start a new learning curve?
Glad you liked it.
