Strange problem??
Posted by supersvend on Thursday, October 16, 2008 3:54 AM

Hey all!

I am experiencing som strange problems lately. When spraying Tamiya acrylics through my Aztec airbrush, thinned with iso or Tamiya thinner, I sometimes, not allways.. get a strange white/frosty result?? Last night I sprayed a tank JA Green and all was well. Today I went back to highligth it with JA Grenn + a little Buff. It looks really bad? This does'nt happen everytime I paint.. It is really annoying because I feel like I have tried everything.

I have tried the following: Airpreassure up/down, more/less thinner, someone said that maybe a few drops of tamiya smoke would help but no... I also bougth a few new nozzles just to be sure.

Please, any advice will be great!

Thanx, Svend-Erik

Sounds like the paint is drying before it gets to the surface. How far from your work are you spraying?

Something you may try the next time you go the LHS. Get some acrylic retarder.
