Airbrush wont spray paint (Similiar to harbormasters problem)

Is yours a gravity feed or siphon feed? Perhaps you didn't thin the paint enough or your comp[ressor isn't putting out enough. Anyhow, If you can be patient, MikeV should be around shortly to help

Now its not spraying anything at all. It was spraying fine yesterday, but it always sprays the paint really thin when it does.

Sounds like maybe there's a blockage. I have a Badger 200 and when it does the same thing I turn it upside down and put some lacquer thinner in where the jar plugs in and spray. I do this a couple of times and it clears it out. Hope this helps.

This seems like the month for air brushes to unite against their masters and i dont like it!

Mike is the man he should have an idea or he will point you in the right direction. Ive learned so much since i posted this topic all from him.

QUOTE: Originally posted by AceofSpades My problem is almost exactly the same as harbor masters. Except that it wont spraly anything now even though the needle is straight, the hole in the glass jar is open, the air is steady and not pulsating, and the head is on tight and not leaking. Any ideas?

What kind of airbrush is it?

I just tried spraying some paint remover through it (its siphon fed) and it started to spray water again, but then stopped shortly after.

Buy a Badger and then I can help better.
Seriously though, as Tom asked, what airbrush is it?

Mike

To be honest I really have no clue But, looking at badger pictures, it looks very simiiar and has similiar parts.

I think you and Harbormaster should both buy an Omni 4000.
If you two can swing the price of the airbrush then I have 2 extra hoses you guys can have for them.

Actually off topic of AoS's broken airbrush, but after using my Crescendo with the metal paint cup, I am dying to get hold of a gravity fed brush.... In fact that's all I've used on it since I got it, the paint cup... it helps because I use the one off the 350 I had as a spare for cleaner once I am done with the color... ( I know.. I know... shoulda listened to yall...)

AceofSpades - do you have a digital camera and could post a pic of it? If not, is it single action, double action? Internal mix or external mix?

wait 'til ya see what I bought.

Well what do you know, I decide to try one last time to see if it will spray and it sprayed perfectly. Funny how these things work sometimes huh? Unbelievable. Oh, and harbor, basically all I did was spray alot of paint remover through it, reposition the needle, and let it dry. You never know
