Airbrush painting problem

...

You should always airbrush with thin, light coats, gradually building up to the color and depth you want.

I have NO experience with Revell paints (didn't even know they made paint until recently) so it could be quality of paint as well.

I usually airbrush with a thin mixture (consistency of milk) at low PSI (10-15). I feel it gives me better control than a high-PSI setup.

1. A respirator, that's what's everybody saying you have to use... never tried it, still alive. But Í'm just starting.. :D

2. I got a Revell airbrush with 1 bottle of Revell paint.. also got the orange peel, had the same with my second car which was sprayed with an automotive spraycan. An experienced modeller told me that I sprayed from to far, the paint was starting to dry while it was in the air. So the third model I did was sprayed from much closer, got a litle run here and there, but almost unnoticable. But no orange peel, but a very shiny finish. Try it, and let me know if that helps for airbrushes too...
