how much PSI does it put out?
what size canister?
I've only used an Air brush on a car, so I'm tring to find out the size of the setup your got.
(is it hobby style (small) or serious ( ya could do your buick in a hour))

on the compressor it says 5-20psi for airbrush. all hes ever used it for is on auto stuff. im just gona play with big sheets of paper for a day or two and then hit the cars.

You wanna keep it set between 12-15 psi.
Your best bet is to practice on paper. Moving the stick back lets out more air, and pressing it down gives more paint. Find the right combo and let it fly.

Create Masks to section off pieces you don't want to spray on.
A splatter effect can look neat.

ok i hooked it all up last night but the kid was acting sketchy on the airpump cuz of the noise so i told her "it wont hurt you" and oops i forgot about the whole communication barrier between a 28yo and a 2yo. she was like hurt.....me. and was even more afraid of it.**note to self** teach kid meaning of "wont" so i only got to run it for a few seconds but i figured out the button thing pretty well and am ready to try this when she goes to her grandmas

The button thing can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be painting everything in your house..lol

Oh...and you've NEVER caused a thread to bend off subject, MR Hog?
The court reminds you that you are still under oath, Sir.
