If the one shot is working good for you just take the necessary precautions
Best of luck with the brush control, I like to practice on paper towels, lines, dots, daggers, trigger control. after 5 rolls of paper towels or a couple bed sheets you'll feel more confident!
wow im pretty excited i have been fumbling along for almost a year now with results that have had me depressed up untill now. The things i learned here in one day: i mixed the paint closer to 50/50 i played with my airbrush alot more IE: dagger strokes dots broken lines even some handwriting. i put a little grease on my airbrush needle i played around a little with the needle cap off on some of the intricate places and i started my painting with the air on first then feathered into the paint slowly. i have just painted the cleanest set of lures i have ever done and i have already painted over a thousand of them in the past with so so results. Im impressed thanks to those that gave me a few tips i think ill hang out in here a little and when i figure out how i will show a before today and after today picture, thanx for the help i feel like i just elevated to a whole new level now i just need to practice alot more and i think i will get to the level i was striving for.
