Airbrush for Sunburst? Is it a thing?
An airbrush patten is a little small for my taste.
Is there a problem you are trying to alleviate by not using a gun ? If you are getting a coarse pattern, three things.
1. You may be shooting in a dry environment and the lacquer is slightly curing before it hits. (add a slow solvent like retarder)
2. You could grab a touch up gun that isn’t…
