I bought a grown up airbrush!  This is the model I got. https://www.midwestairbrush.com/neoforiwtrsi.html

Plugged it in, poured in some colored cocoa butter and it coated things incredibly quickly - except that the overspray is insane!  I'm still using my 3 year old Point Zero 1/5 hp tankless air compressor, which seems to run consistently between 40 and 60 psi. Can't seem to get it cranked down to run lower.

Is over-spray caused by the psi being too high?
 

It's a very attractive airbrush! Midwest has such good sales. 

 

Grab one of the GMAC pressure regulators that @Jim D. mentioned earlier and see if that will let you dial down the pressure.
