Finally got my Iwata HP-CS out & played some. I had no problem making nice fades that will work perfect for fading flames. But the trouble I had was trying to make fine lines. I took the front cap off and was able to get some nice lines about 1/32 wide occasionally, but not consistantly. My biggest problem was the way the gun could suddenly release too much ink/paint when I was trying to get started every now and then.
I'd like to get a good technique for this so I could make "shine" highlights on dark colors or "glare stars" on the edges. The best I could do was a few small stars that had rays with fat ends. Do guys use templates to make the sharp rays on these stars, or am I missing something?
I noticed that I couldn't do small stuff with the button fully pushed down with full air flow and regulating paint. I could only do it by barely letting air through the gun and barely letting paint through also. But if I let too much air or too much paint it would tend to flood the panel, make a sunburst and would ruin the effect I was trying for.
Do I need a smaller gun for this much detail? I'd be PO'ed if I worked a whole panel and then blasted a 1/2" sunburst when I didn't want it.
I was doing this practice with India ink on a glossy poster board. Maybe, automotive eurethanes wouldn't run as easily.
