If you have a Badger 250, you will never be happy with the results,
and pretty soon you will stop painting anything with an airbrush. Just
say no.
If you have a Badger 350, use the H tip (the largest) when coating a
model with its basic color. A starting point would be 25-30 lbs
pressure, a mix of about 8 parts paint to one part thinner, with the
brush about 10 inches from the model. If you thin the paint more,
lower the pressure. Adjust the tip so you can just barely see the
paint coming out of the brush (this is hard to describe). I spray onto
a scrap of something, it should look like the color is sort of
appearing gradually. There are so many variables, everything from the
weather to how fast you move the airbrush across the model. Maybe this
will give you a starting point.
