Default First time air brushing...

First time using my new Iwata air brush and had all kinds of issues. Keep getting this cob webbing / cotton candy stringy stuff all over the inside of the truck shell. I'm using Pactra paint straight. Tried air pressures between 20 and 40 PSI with the same results. Didn't seem to matter weather I held tip 1/2 away or 4 inches away still got stringy crap all over. Haven't experimented with thinning yet, maybe that will do the trick. Suggestions?

Yep thats what you need to do. Once you thin it the webbs go away.

Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight. What would be a good starting point regarding thinning ratio?
