If you don't mind me asking Canned...What kind....gravity feed...siphon feed...external mix...internal mix...dual action...single? Also what kind of compressor did you get?

Photo's would be nice :D ............. :haha: ..Might be able to give you some tips on using whatever you got :thumbup:

Nice Job Canned...not sure what kind of airbrush you got... but you're getting the hang of it :D .....what you might want to try is to see just how fine of a line you can get...pushing the trigger button allowing the air to stabilize ...then slowly pull back on the trigger till the paint comes out...practice on newspaper...before doing anything on your tank... pressure and paint thickness have to be set just right ;)

So an external mix? what brand if you don't mine me asking...you should still be able to get a 1/4 inch line..then buffer the edges with the earth tone again after...if you tell me what pressure you are running ...I can give you more tips... I have a Passche H which is an external mix...single action.. right now I have a course tip on it..and use it for shooting clears base coats and sealers...but if you have the fine tip...you can do all sorts of stuff ;)

Picture of your brush and compressor would help too :thumbup:
