I would like to know what is the air pressure that you run for you dye and finishes? is it about 20 pounds more or less air pressure? thank you Depends on the type of spray & type of airbrush you're looking for/using. Bottom/bottle feed (jar or cup hangs from the bottom): Full coverage dying: 15-22 psi stipple/thick coverage: 10-12 psi spraying of acrylics/thicker fluids: 18-25 psi Gravity/Top feed (cup is attached to the top of the airbrush): Full coverage dying: 10-15 psi stipple/thick coverage: 5-8 psi spraying of acrylics/thicker fluids: 12-18 psi Your mileage may vary depending on your set up but those should give you some good ranges to start with.
