Airbrush PSI

I was just wondering what PSI you all generally use for your compressors for molded bonbons? I'm sure the effect you're trying to get influences how high or low you run the compressor, but to just get a general nice even coat, what PSI do you all recommend?

Mine's set around 55.  I've been doing more airbrushing than usual for Valentine's and it's been slow going with a Grex 0.5 mm airbrush and tiny compressor.  You had commented on my photo in another thread but I'm not 100% happy with my coverage, it's a bit speckle-y and takes multiple passes from different angles.  I did just buy a 0.7 mm nozzle and a larger compressor but haven't put them into use.
