How to airbrush fine lines.

What's the limiting factor to how fine a line you can spray.

Is it the airbrush quality, or nozzel, or maybe distance from subject?

All three, plus air pressure and paint viscosity, but most important of all lots and lots of PRACTICE.

Sign - Ditto [#ditto] Absolutely correct my friend but let me also add that skill is just as important as practice. There are guys that can paint a finer line with a Badger 100 than I can with the Sotar 20/20.
