Hi Guys, Got a new airbrush and compressor for christmas, a long with a load of Faskolor to use with it. Iv done a fair bit of spraying before with tins and some airbrushing with laquers.
Iv got the hang of it I feel, I can spray normal/pearl/fascents fine doing both detailed stuff and large coverage, but one thing I'm struggling with is the fluorescent colours. Iv read countless stuff about pressures and needle sizes etc, but I just cant get them to cover, they just run around the shell, and any detailed stuff just gets blown around the shell, its night and day from the other colours iv been using. Iv tried all sorts of pressures from 15-60psi with no joy. Im using a 0.3mm needle, Iv even tried thinning it but this just makes it worse. Its almost like the paint is too thin, but its several different colours from different sources so I doubt its a faulty batch. Anyone got any suggestions? Or are faskolor fluros just a b*atch to work with??
Cheers,
Ben
