My Sparmax Max-3 Airbrush is spitting often. As far as I can tell, it's completely clean inside. I did buy some Iwata brushes recently that shed their bristles very quickly (rubbish and counter productive). I guess it's possible there's some in there but I doubt it given the cleaning I've done.
perhaps I need to replace the rear seal? Is that even possible?

Spitting airbrush:
Air leak at the nozzle seat. ( sometime just a little bees wax or chap stick on the mating parts will seal it up,generally a good idea anyway)
Dirty.
Paint too thick needs thinning.
Air pressure too low for the viscosity of the paint.
Paint not mixed well enough causing partial clogs.
Thanks. Will look into all those things. I did notice that the last time I reattached the nozzle, it was not easy to put back in for reasons I couldn't figure out.

My Badger tends to get a seat leak at the nozzle. It has a teflon seal but none the less I wax the threads. When that seal leaks the brush produces a pulsating spattery pattern. Course each brush is different but nozzle leaks are common. Also air cap leaks ( my Badger require the air cap be on to spray, not all brushes do), I wax those threads as well. All sealed up the pattern is beautiful, nice controlable, very small droplets etc.
Also fairly common is crud in the paint,either not fully mixed or a little dried paint from a dropper top getting in the mix. That really raises some hell driven negative spirits with the production process lol !!
