 Subject:  how do i prevent paint spattering while airbrushing?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 5, 2003
 From:  dominic miele 
last night i was spraying some green lines for a camo job, and i noticed that i was getting a butt-load of paint spattering along the edges instead of nice smooth edges. i had thinned the paint down to about 50 percent, and i was using enamels. is my air pressure too high? is the paint too thick? how do i get nice lines?
for info, i'm using a pasche double action airbrush with some simple badger air compressor that doesn't have a pressure gauge, all it has is a lame bleader valve to adjust pressure, also i have an in-line moisture trap.
thanks for the help
