Coley Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 I have a Paasche VL and I have a question about paint thinning. I am using water based acrylic. If you want to paint very fine lines and very small dots, does the paint also have to be thinner than it normally would??? I have noticed that when I start trying to get finer lines the paint will not come out until I adjust the needle for more paint and of course then its too much. Thanks, Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeter Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I am not sure that I am giving you the right answer. But, I know that to paint a pencil type line that the needle is backed out of the tip and the gun is placed really close to the piece. Say an inch or less. You might try a #1 tip. Start shooting the paint before the edge of the piece and move quickly. You will have to play with the trigger to learn to get that air and paint right. This is what Testors has on their web site. Hughsey would be the best to answer this one. He has probably forgotten more about painting than all of us combined know. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
