O.K. I have used the airbrush for about the past year. I also purchased the HVLP as well. When I learned to do the airbrushing I was taught to do circles and rows when spraying. I would like to use the HVLP system as it is mucher quicker. What spray pattern are you using. I have tried different patterns and it always looks darker on certain areas, like when I spray one line the next line spays on top of that and it looks much darker? help......

I dont know what spray gun your using, but when I spray I keep the cap on the end of the gun up/down postiion THIS way it sprays horizontal.. you need to overlap your sprays. If you are spraying to heavy, adjust the amount of solution that comes out of the spray gun.

Oasis Airbrush

If your cais aligned up & down then spray up and down- if its turned side to side (vertical) then spray side to side. If you are going to fast or to slow in areas then you will also have lighter/darker areas.

Practice on a piece of paper- its important with an hvlp to go the same speed, and stay the same distance. I prefer to spray up and down- less over spray.

What unit are you using?

I bought the Jamacia Me Tan hvlp, but I use a different solution. Seems like I use twice the solution with the hvlp than with the airbrush.
