A chalk like finish? Ahhh.... you may have a different issue my friend. Generally when you get that, it means the paint was dry before it hit the target! What pressure did you have your airbrush on? I generally run 12 to 14 pounds when doing paint...

Yes! Exactly like chalk! I think you hit the nail and I did a noob mistake with the pressure. I was using 60 máximum 30 minimum kg/cm. I think that is 40 pounds/inche max 25 minimum.

So I hope I can adjust the pressure and get better results now.

Thanks for heading me in the right way. :)

Hi an old trick is to add a small amount of corn starch to the mix if you are spraying with a gun. Do some test sprays to get the mix spot on.
