Tazz I too use the paashe VL and it is a nice piece of work. It is very easy to use and the only nit pick I have is it is a bit harder to clean then the single. But once you know your way around the AB it is not a problem.

I just picked up a paasche VL set also to go along with my aztec 470. Should be fun figuring it out. Double Action are very easy to use just abit of practice and you will be on your way.

Tazz
You will love your new double action a/b. I have the Aztec 470, --- and this tool, (like your Paasche), will allow you to blend colors, and fade ever so slightly with just a wisp of paint---They are great---Congrats!!!

Got one of those babies, too! And I love it! (It was my first and we always remember our first.) Like suggested, practice lots on something you don't care about before trying it on something that you do!!!!!! :-)

Congratulations on the AB. I got one of those when I was 14, and I've never seen the need to change (I'm 28 now). Just clean in the same direction the paint flows: back to front. Have fun!
Oh, if you're worried about the double action being hard to use, don't be. There's a little screw right in front of the trigger assmebly on the top of the AB body that you can use to set the paint level - it basically makes it operate like a single action, if you choose.
