dwanderson Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Looking for some help on getting good results painting. I use tamiya acrylics thinned 2:1 over tamiya fine primer. The end results are ever good. I have a iwata bro airbrush with a .35 needle set around 35psi. The paint never looks right. Sometimes it's eggshell some times it pits other times it just looks horrible. Any tips on making it look better would help. Thanks.

JTRACING Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I think .35 is a little small for painting model cars. that's more for detail work. you want a .5 or larger even if your doing bodies and general painting. also depending on the paint you use and the type of airbrush, the air pressure you spray at can affect the way the paint lays down.best to just do some practice until you get it nailed down for the materials you prefer to use
my80malibu Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 The pressure appears to high to me. I usually shoot paint at around 15 PSI
