like mike says, your gonna have to thin the paint, and when you have thinned the paint, you have to tweak in the air pressure to "match" the viscosity of you paint. i would keep the #3 tip and needle in there and try thinning your paint further and dropping your pressure lower. its that whole paint to thinner to air pressure ratio that has to be dialed in and when you find it, write it down somewhere unless you have a good memory. when i'm doing my demarcation lines on a camo job, i have a 60%thinner to 40% paint ratio and my pressure is below 10 psi as my gauge kinda dont' registar under 10psi. but, i have a gravity feed brush and i doubt the siphon feed VL will suck paint at that pressure. with that said, you may have a handicap with the finest of lines. later.
