That would depend on the paint and thinner combo as well as the type of airbrush.

ahh yes i first tried model masters grey with acrylic airbrush thinner, btw im just figuring out my aircompressor i know how to adjust the psi but not how t read it theres a gauge for reading the levels in the tank and thats it
Whoa there. Take a step back. In your opening post you mentioned issues with acryic light grey. What brand of acrylic paint and what did you use to thin it?
With regard to your Testors enamel, the general rule of thumb is to thin it to the approximate consistency of low-fat milk.
as for air pressure im not sure how to tell i think an educated guess is 20 psi? and i spray about 4 inches away normally
mostly testors enamel with a ratio of 3:1 of paint to thinner which is testors airbrush thinner
What type (ie brand) of paint are you using and how much thinner (and type of thinner)?
What's your air pressure and how far away from the surface are you spraying?
Well if we are talking about the screw in the bottom of the airbrush right behind the nozzle then in that case ive attempted that, with maybe a tiny bit of paint coming out, but only half the time
Check the most obvious! I had a similar problem once; I was ready to toss mine in the trash when as a last ditch effort i twisted the nozzle/fluid cap counter clockwise and whoa! I must have had it turned almost all the way off; open enough for air but no paint.
anyway... sorry I cant be more help (or any at all). Good luck!
As I was putting the final touches on my A-10 before i begin to paint, i readied my airbush by spending 45 minutes extensivley cleaning it from back to front, after that i sprayed thinner through it to check and also to clean out the nozzle, i got the outline of the air while spraying it, but after switching to acrylic light gray it was like i was dry brushing instead of actually painting the wing. Is there something i can do to get the probable clog out of the airbrush. Im using a Master g48 its about a year old now and so far its been great but right now i cant get any paint to flow through
