I just looked at (I believe Skids) how-too on the web site. Nice job! I have a follow up question about the fine line technique. Could the "Brain-Trust" here possibly creat a list of the different brushes that will spray without the aircap? I know my Paasche VL's won't. Is there a way to tell just by looking or is a try it to see type thing?

Moose,,,,
Look in the catalogs under VL's to
find what's called a "Paint Picker" tip !!!
It's a rounded tip giving access to the
needle and allows closer work with the
needle exposed,,,
Or you can sand down your existing aircap
but be careful not to go further than the
airhole in the tip,,, can mess up if so !!!
Take needle/tip out,, reassemble,, use as
you would a pencil eraser on sandpaper to
sand edges off and shape (taper) !!!
Just go To,, Not Past airhole in tip !!!
Works for me:partyalone:
You'll notice greater control on your detailing
and accessability to clean tipdry easier !!!
