                        I had the same issue. Took apart the airbrush and cleaned the nozzle. Works great now

                        In badger airbrushes there is a teflon washer that seals the nozzle.  That washer needs to be replaced occasionally, and a good indication of the need to replace is bubbles in the paint jar.

                        I ended up taking the entire airbrush apart and deep cleaning it with hot water and soap and it works perfect now. I didnt take any notes and have no instructions so thank god for my 120 GT score I got it completely put back together.

                        blockage in your nozzle. Clean it out and clean off the needle tip.

                        Bubbles in the paint cup is usually and indication that the nozzle/nozzle cap is not firmly seated..

                        Bubbles in the Paint Recepticle
                        Posted by haseren4 on Sunday, March 2, 2014 7:19 AM

                        So I bought my first airbrush yesterday and had been using it pretty extensively with no issue. But today I started to use some Olive Grey paint I mixed just now and in the paint recepticle there are bubbles that look like when you blow air into milk with a straw. What causes this?
                        Extra Info
                        I am using the Basic Revell airbrush and Revell Aqua paints
