Got spider problems ... Reduce the pressure a bit ... try around 15 PSI.
The other thing to remember is you have to build the paint up in layers so it may seem like there is very little coverage (opacity). Believe me its easier to add another layer ... than reduce a one thats to dark! I used to (and still do) end up over doing things as I expected everything to "colour up" straight away and had my paint set up with very little reduction and high pressures. This caused me problems when I bought my Infinity as I could not understand why the paint was troublesome going through the AB.
Some of the guys and gals on here will have mentioned that reduction can change between colours of the same series of paint, differnt brands of paint etc. The same goes for your airbrush. What may go through an Iwata Eclipse HP-BCS, for instance, will not go through a H&S Infinity .15! Although the paint may look like gnat's p*ss in the eclipse it will be like treacle going through a smaller nozzle airbrush! It really is trial & error. Couple this with the fact your still learning the airbrush and this will = FRUSTRATION!
Just take it one step at a time mate!
Josh (Seamonkey) has some good vids of him doing skulls ... Watch how he builds them up layer by layer, building up the shadow areas. I go back to these vids and Airbrushtutor's time and time again and just observe how they build up the picture.
Hope this helps keep you sane!
