I dont want to sound mean but, throw out your Aztek and get a real airbrush, I had an aztek and all it ever did was gum up.

I use the black and the tan with good results.

I use the black nozzle with Tamiya acrylics. If you want a fine line, then thin the paint way down 1:5 to 1:7. Lower the pressure down to 5 psi and spray a few centimeteres from the model. (These are approximates...so experiment to see what works for you.)

I use the mostly the black nozzle, and I also use Vallejo acrylics. I havent had any problems with cloging the nozzle. I thin the paint 1part paint to 2 part vallejo thinner.

I havent got in to painting thin lines so the finer nozzles are still in the box.

aztek: which nozzle?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 12, 2005 7:54 AM
just wanted to know which nozzles people actually use, particularly with acrylics.  I pretty much use the red one exclusively.  tried the black one a few times and even the red one with the black nozzle's needle but it clogs something terrible with valejo acrylics i use, especially the black.
