                        just wanted to know which nozzles people actually use, particularly with acrylics.  I pretty much use the red one exclusively.  tried the black one a few times and even the red one with the black nozzle's needle but it clogs something terrible with valejo acrylics i use, especially the black.

                        I use the mostly the black nozzle, and I also use Vallejo acrylics. I havent had any problems with cloging the nozzle. I thin the paint 1part paint to 2 part vallejo thinner.

                        I havent got in to painting thin lines so the finer nozzles are still in the box.

                        I use the black nozzle with Tamiya acrylics. If you want a fine line, then thin the paint way down 1:5 to 1:7. Lower the pressure down to 5 psi and spray a few centimeteres from the model. (These are approximates...so experiment to see what works for you.)

                        I use the black and the tan with good results.
