2. i want to go finer with my lines and was looking at iwata .2mm needles, assuming i can use this in my paasche will i need to buy a new nozzle and will that iwata noozle even fit. (yes i know 90% of fine lines come down to the user and not the needle)
|
Your needle options for the Paasche VL are as follows...
VLN-1 Fine lines needle
VLN-1 Fine lines needle (polished needle)
VLN-3 Medium Needle
VLN-5 Heavy Needle.
You will also need the corresponding nozzle tips.

3. iwata makes a .1 something needle, i've read not to go below .2 if your going to be spraying water base paints, (which i am, tamiya water based) what if i crazy thin the paints, or is there no point in going that small.

I think youŽre fine. Tamiya acrylics are not real waterbased-latex paints like Vallejo and Testors acryl. The Tamiya paints have an alcohol base and behaves more like a modified lacquer.
Thin the Tamiya paints with their own X-20A thinner for fine line work and turn the pressure down low and youŽll be able to do stupidly fine lines even with a 0.5 nozzle and needle. I know I can with my Iwata Revolution Cr 0.5 mm.
Since youŽre from the states you can order new nozzles and needles here...
