What's the best way to have the tightest pattern out of an Iwata HP-BCS?  Any idea on paint/thinner ratio or air pressure?

Ha!  Don't ask me.

I suck!

I'm better off to use the old 3M Blu-Tac approach.

Definately go with the blu-tac.  :D

And for a cheaper but similar tactic, I also use plasticene (modeling clay).

I will be trying that out this weekend to get some more "tan" on my SEA camo F-16T T-tail without too much overspray.

Although I do like the feathered edge.  After years trying to fake that look with handbrushing, I'm thrilled to get the real effect from an airbrush, tight pattern or not!    ^_^
