Default Its been 12 years since I picked up my airbrush...what do you think?

I had alot of trouble getting the paint to the right consistency and have to admit its not my best work. I used to have pactra acrylique witch sprayed very well, now the ony acrylique available was faskolor. I have to say there is a better color selection but thinning it right is a guessing game. Does anybody know of any online charts refering to how many parts paint to thinner and at what pressure the air should be. Here are a couple of pics, any criticisme and advice is welcome.

There's no hard and fast rules with the faskolor I don't think. Personally I thin with Tamiya acrylic thinner (hard to find now) but as for how thin, it's really dependant on how you spray, your airbrush, pressure and the paint in question as it's all different. White is usually pretty thick and I thin it a lot, others like my pearls I don't thin so much. I do thin them all though in the airbrush until I get it a milky consistency.

For the best results I prefer spazstix paint (wtf is that name about) but generally only use the black, tint and chromes. I do have others but for the majority of the colours I use faskolor because it's easy to clean.

Nice paint job,Now let's see how you do on the track...why did you put the Cat Sx Sticker on the bottom pan? It will be gone after the first lap.And i have ton say much better airbrushing than Nighttarain.

A wise man once said when you make a big mistake put a even bigger sticker on it
