Fine airbrush detail

I am having a bit of trouble dialing in my airbrush for doing "fine" details such as eye's. I am looking for any suggestions as to what I need to do to set it up properly. Air pressure? etc. I have a Badger 360, and of course I threw away the directions when I bought it.
Thanks.

I don't have a Badger but I just crank the nozzle down a bit and cut the pressure in half. Then I do a few practice shots on my bench or a piece of wood and fine tune it. Usually have to be real close to your work and move fast.

Hope it helps,,

Canalman - Thanks for the input. Just curious, what pressures do you usually paint at? I have been using 18 psi or so. thanks.
