Arrow Help on my Maximist HVLP gun OR Best affordable airbrush?

I thought I would be abel to sculpt/contour with just dialing down my HVLP, but quickly learned with the gun I've got, I can change the amount of spray that comes out, but I can't seem to figure out (of if it's even possible) to dial down the diameter of spray coming out. I have the Maximist gun (not pro). It's about a 4 inch diameter spray that comes out, but I was hoping to dial it in without getting right up close (like 1" or something) away from the client.

If I can't do this, does anyone have a recommendation of a good small airbrush system I can get that won't cost an arm and a leg, but will do a decent job?

Should I just get a different gun?

Help?

Dial it down to almost nothing then get close. The closer you are the smaller the pattern. Just practice on some cardboard first, you'll get the hang of it.

Have you also turned the position of cap on the front of the sprayer?
