I've been airbrushing for about a month now and it is the hardest part of plug building for me. I can get a nice three color pattern on the bodies (belly,sides,back) with no spatters or runs etc. When I try to put fine lines for mackerals or dots IT GETS UGLY. I can put fine lines on cardboard all day, the second i try on a pug the paint is not dark enough. So I try to put more on and end up with a realy fat line so I throw the plug across the room. Do you think my paint is wrong (water base from Michaels)? Any help would be great. I need a camera to show you what I mean

Sounds like you have the same temperment that I have I am no expert on airbrushing but air pressure is definately a consideration, but then so is too much paint. On my brush, Paasch VL you can preset the paint flow and then you just have to worry about controlling air pressure. Bassmaster and Eel Punt do good mack patterns maybe they will give some advice.
