                        If you are getting splatter it possibly means that paint is flowing freely into the cap, or is building up in it causing it to splatter. Is the needle closing all the way into the seat of the nozzle? A dirty needle will cause this to happen, restricting the travel of the needle.

                        What do you mean by "spatter?"

                        do you have a regulator and water trap on your compressor? if you dont have a water trap you may be getting water in the line.

                        if you do try breaking down your airbrush and soaking it over night in alcohol or laquer thinner just incase you cant see something that is clogged.

                        Hello !

                          My problem is that I am getting splatter ! I have a Badger universal 360 double action brush . I never had this problem before. Any idea what could be the problem?
