So it seems the airbrush has finally been figured out. We had the needle WAY too far back, so we basically had no control on it, but we moved it up and now it uses way less paint and there's actually control to be had. I went closer and farther (pulsing if you will) with this, but the lighting in the garage was brutal so I missed the odd spot or it's just too thin, but for the first time fading paint, I think it turned out well.
