Fine lines without overspray?

I have to agree with Mike. The whole reason for using an airbrush in the first place (ok, one of them!) is to GET the overspray which creates a soft blend between adjacent colors. If you don't want any overspray, just mask the areas.
Can the 155 spray patterns like that? Yes, it can. Can you do it? I don't know, only you can answer that. Spraying fine-lines with an airbrush is the single most difficult thing to do with one. It is not an ability that is included in the box with the airbrush, and the only way to master it is practice, practice, and then some more practice. Practice on old milk bottles until you get the pattern that you like. The paint viscosity (how thin it is), air pressure, and distance from the model all affect how it works. YOU will have to find a combination that works for you. Try what others suggest, but if it doesn't work for you look for a different way.
For fine lines I thin my paint 1:1, lower the air pressure down to about 8 psi, and get about 1/4" from the surface of the model. I also angle the airbrush so that most of the overspray will go into the color that I am painting. This is what works for me, but others do it differently.
