Any tips on getting fine lines with this airbrush?? I haven’t had to spray any yet…but want to practice so I can do them when needed…
Turn the pressure down 15-25psi, thin the paint to spray at that pressure. Your trigger control and practice is what will give you fine lines-You can get a fairly thin line with practice but don’t expect to get super fine lines with the 360.

You might get a slightly more controllable fine line in gravity mode with the 360.
Try it as John says and see what you can come up with.
The 360 will spray fairly thin lines as I was able to get this line of around 1mm a few months back when I was playing around with the different Badgers.

Thanks gents… 'tis much appreciated. I tried it with PSI of around 8-10, and what I think was thin enough paint, but didn’t get any lines close to yours Mike…course I am new to this stuff so need much practice making any sort of lines [;)]
Keep practicing Mike as it takes a little time to educate your finger as to how much to pull back on that trigger.
8-10 psi might be a little too low of pressure also. The picture I posted was shot at 20 psi. Paint atomizes better at higher pressures, but spraying fine lines with little overspray becomes increasingly difficult at the higher pressures.
I would try about 15 psi with about a 1:1 mixture of paint to thinner and see how that goes.
If the paint stops flowing then point the airbrush off into the air and blast a little bit of paint, clean the needle tip with your fingernails or a cotton swab and go back to painting those fine lines. [;)]
