How to reduce overspray

To reduce overspray, turn down airpressure as far as your paint/thinner mix allows.

I usually go with very thin paint, low pressure and get as close to the subject as possible- I'm talking in the region of 5-6 mm.

Also, I try to angle my airbrush so that I am pointing from the outside of the target area and in, rather than the other way around, so less of that overspray makes it "out of the lines".

Yhanks guys for all the info. I tried to reduce the pressure and thinned the paint more with better results, but it still could be better. Perhaps with a bit more practice I'll get better.

What airbrush?  Single or double action? If it is one that has different volume nozzles, which nozzle.

If you have a wide pattern nozzle it WILL be hard to do a narrow line. If you are using a SA brush it is harder to get a narrow pattern.

Hi Don,

It is an Azteck DA. with the fine nozzel. But I just bought the Badger 105 Patriot, and I cant wait to get it.
