Michael, Thanks for the information. I'm not sure of the model number of my brush but I'd bet it's the 250. I've had it at least 15 years but have not used it all that much. Anyhow the info you have given me will be a big help.

I have a Badger single action model with the jar on the bottom. ----------------------------- 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. -Michael Eldridge -San Jose, CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
