  1. Thank you both. @Brick Steel, I hate to hear that about your area. I spent a few weeks in PC helping. I'm in the Freeport area, we were extremely lucky. I hope all is getting better and back to normal. Pictures do no justice to what it was like on the ground in that area. But trout and redfish, mostly trout in the choctawhatchee bay. Started spraying today! Everything seemed good and no issues with thinning besides white and black, only issue I noticed is my regulator will stay constant at 55 psi if set at 60 while spraying. If I go any lower with the regulator, it will read 30 or 40psi but drop to almost 5 while I'm spraying. It's a 30gal compressor so it isn't starving for air. Not sure what the issue is. Either way, 2 are dipped and epoxy is drying right now! And all I can say is this is a great investment. I will make my money back in no time compared to the wasted spray paint I was using lol. I'm not sure if I am allowed to upload the pictures here. If not, do I have my own album on my profile? The mobile site doesn't show too much and I haven't been on the computer today. Again thank you both.
  2. Good morning/ afternoon everyone. I would like to start by introducing myself, as this is my first post, and of course it is looking for advice. I'm from Florida, and live on the flatts. So I have a very wide variety of colors that I can use effectively in the water. I picked up an iwata eclipse today, probably that last time my wife lets me tag along with her to hobbylobby... I've read, and read, for days about the "basics" of spraying and maintenance of AB. Tons of info on here from you all. I beleive it will end up being a trial and error ordeal to get it spraying as I would like. But any cheat codes will help. I also picked up some opaques and one pearl silver - all are createx airbrush paint. Any tips on psi I should run with this particular gun? I will not being doing fine details without a stencil until I get the hang of it, along with the paint properties. Any info is appreciated and helpful. I've been printing and painting lures for a few years now, and since I have mastered the printers that I own, I would like to step up to airbrushing gradients instead of the spray cans and paint pens that I have been using. Again, thank you all!
