Airbrush cuts out paint flow.

Thanks! ill start cleaning it.

I suspect you have a dirty nozzle.  If you had a spare, you could swap it out and see.

Don

yes the needle takes a bit of force to get it in, and no bubbles in the paint cup.

Thanks for the help!

It could be some dried paint inside the nozzle.  Do you have more than one that you could try?

If not, you could soak the nozzle in some lacquer thinner or acetone and probe it gently with a sharpened toothpick.  Don't use anything metal.  Use an eyedropper to flush it out.

Do you see bubbles in the cup or bottle when you spray?

How does the needle feel when you install it?  Does it have a little drag?

Don

I use acrylics and thin them with water, I spray before with water, the problem is less annoying with spraying water but still present.

Does it do this with plain water or thinner?  You may have lumps in your paint.
