Ditto answer above. I got the Talon that comes with three different needles and I find that the middle size is the most often used, but .........
If I use ink, I go to the smaller needle. If I shoot ones with glitter, I go with the large needle. You probably will find that white will require more thinning then black, most of the other colors will require different levels of thinning. Stick with a paint of ink made for air brushes until you are an expert at taking the air brush apart to remove stuck paint that was not ground fine enough........ most paints sold are not fine ground.
I have ended up using my airbrush to put a base coat on my lures, then I use the decal transfer sheets that Larry showed us on one of his Hunt for Big Fish shows, then I use the air brush to hit the top of the lure with a darker color and perhaps shoot a glitter over the transfer. In short, I have a LOT of paint colors I never use now.
I prefer the Alumidust for my soft plastics.
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!
