| Subject: | Airbrushing - what PSI is best? |  |
| Date: | Jun 1, 2006 |
| From: | dominic Miele | |
ok, every so often i notice someone mentioning that they use a particular amount of psi when airbrushing, but i can't remember what the usual range is. i actually did some research on the little Pasche compressor my dad got me years ago, and apparently it goes up to 20psi (i dont have a regulator so i never knew what it went to before). i realize that i almost never spray at full pressure, usually at half that because i thought it went higher! ok, so is 20 psi where most of us spray? or around 16? i know it depends on how thin the mixture is or whats being sprayed, but i need a refresher on the basics!
thanks a lot
