I use regular Createx paints. I have used different pressure settings, different needles, strained the paints I am still getting over spray with some colors especially on the small baits. I did buy an iawata it did help a lot. Well worth the money. It has an .035 needle. I think it is the paint. I need some help from you guys do these paints over spray as bad Smith, Wasco, Auto Air? Can I shot these paints through a smaller needle? I had a Paashe and the paint would not shot through a #1 consistently even with blackjack thinner. What is the difference between the wildlife life tones & the poly paints? I have a buddy that shoots model paints it seems like he can shot a finer line with less over spray. I don't really want to go that route but I got to be something. Thanks for the help!
