Im airbrushing Looney tunes characters for my sister in my nephew's bedroom. Im painting on a glossy enamel paint. Im having a hard time with getting a fine line, I know it comes with practice but at times I will be going good and the all of a sudden it have to pull farther and farther back to get paint out then no paint at all with come out. But if I point the airbrush down like I would if I was writting with a pen it sprays out perfectly.. I dont know if I dont have the paint thin enough or if the airflow is not right. I do strain my paint and Im using just regular waterbase Acrylic paints. And sometimes I think I thinned the paint too much and to get the color I want I have to go over at least ten times... Any suggestions?
