Could be the paint isn't properly thinned or the PSI is too low.

Also make sure that the AB needle isn't bent or warped.  It won't affect the air flow, but it'll really mess with your paint.

What make/model airbrush is it?  It may be a known problem with your particular AB.

did you check to make sure all your seals are there?  Sounds (as you typed it) like you might have a missing/broken/bad seal.
