I am also having a problem (big surprise) with a spider webbing type effect when I paint. I have messed around with air pressure anywhere from 20 to 40 lbs and get the same BS.
I paint with Pactra and have a Iwata revolution cr. I got the airbrush as a gift and thought it was a good brand? Any pointers for the noob painter will be appreciated.
Hey Rick, I use Spaz Stix mirror chrome and it is by far the best on the market. It is a little pricey at $13.00 for 2 oz. But it's worth every penny. As far as spider webbing, you need to thin your paint 50/50 with pactra laquer thinner, and set your pressure to 15 - 20 lbs. The spider webbing should be gone. If there is still some webbing, add 10% more thinner and you'll be golden. Hope that helps some. I'll be at the track on Wed, we could talk more then.
