This is hard because it depends on several factors. However, here is a starting point from Testor's site for Pla;

"If you are airbrushing Testor Enamels, use #8824 or 8825C Enamel Airbrushing Thinner. Use the following ratio as a starting point. Gloss; 3 parts paint to 2 parts thinner. Flat; 3 parts paint to 1 part thinner Enamels require 48 hrs. to complete cure."

Pressure 15 lb for single action. Double action can be set higher since the actual pressure depends on your finger.
