Default painting PSI

hey guys, i'm still playing around with my airbrush and i'm trying to find the "right" psi to shoot at. I'm using faskolor paint and currrently shooting at 25 psi. What pressure is optimal for shooting this kind of paint? Do you thin the paint before shooting?
Any advice would be very helpful.

thanks in advance

I'm spraying Faskolor at a presure of 2,5 bar, that would be around 36.25944

It depends. The metallics and pearls usually take more pressure/thinning. I thin Faskolor by opening a new bottle, and filling the bottle to the top with water. I spray standard colors at 40 psi, and metallics at 50-55 psi. But, you can do it with less pressure with more thinning.
