Congrats! I also use my NEO for base coats and clears. My Sotar is used for detail work and weathering. Way to go getting them working!

Thanks guys! Yeah they're just for grunt work. I have an Iwata HP-C+ and a Badger Renegade Chrome for finer work.

Well done. I need a crash course in double action. I've just done a tiny bit of work and the brushes are so finicky compared to my Paasche H. Operator error no doubt.

It takes time to learn and I'm still no where near as good as most people.

Yes, double action brushes are a difficult thing to master. Some brushes have a tiny screw behind the trigger which can restrict how far you pull back the trigger. This helps if you need a lighter coat of paint over a broader area; as well as allowing for more controlled weathering. Still, practice helps tremendously.

I enjoy using them. Lots to learn there. I'm failing at maintaining them. I get a couple good sessions then they get all mucked up. I just need to watch a few videos.

Made a slight change to the paint side of the bench. Since I'm right handed, I needed things on that side so that they were closer. I moved the two organizers to the right side and got rid of one of the Vallejo paint racks since I didn't need it.
