I have this problem too with certain metallic paint. Some seem to clog up the tip after brief spraying. I usually have to stop and put some lacquer thinner thru the AB several times. Seems like the metal particles collect in the AB. I also try to keep the paint in the bottle stirred up as I go too. Try to keep the particles from settling around the siphon tube. Not much esle to offer you...

Metalizer question
Posted by hkshooter on Monday, February 23, 2009 9:18 AM

This seems like a rookie question but I'm paint stupid at the moment. I've been trying to airbrush MM metalizer burnt metal through my Iwata CR. It's not working well at all. Paint is supposed to be a/b ready and though I've thinned it even more I cannot maintain an even spray. Regardless of air pressure, the flow starts and stops. Anyone have any tips for this stuff?

I a/b burnt iron all the time with no problems.
