Hello: I'm using Alcad paints for the first time. I'm painting the exhaust area of a F-4 Phantom. I first laid down Alclad's gloss black as a base coat. I had no problems at all: no clogs, paint went on smoothly and adhered well. I'm now spraying Alclad's Aluminum paint using a Paasche H airbrush set to the recommended 12-15 psi and using a #3 tip. My problem is that the tip clogs almost instantly. If I pause for even 1-2 seconds, the tip clogs and I have to clean the tip with lacquer cleaner on a q-tip. Even if I spray continuously, without pausing, the tip will eventually clog.
So, what am I doing wrong? I have not thinned the paint as I read that you don't have too. The paint is going down well, looks good, and is adhering well.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions.
