Chuck, consider the tiny hole that you are trying to force the paint through, even the AB paints generally need a little thinning, the Badger air opaques are really thin but most will need to be reduced...you mentioned that you tried water, does that work... meaning, is the water passing through the airbrush? if so leave a small amount water in the cup/bottle and try working backwards, add a little paint to the water, hopefully it will run through and you can thicken it up slowly until you get the coverage that you are looking for, one more thing..if you are using the little bottle with the tube in it, the paint will not flow if that tiny airhole in the cap is blocked...let me know how you make out, that's a decent airbrush you should be ok, ab's can be a little frustrating to start but you'll ge the hang of it, I use the 155....one more thing, that's a dual action I think ....so you need to press the trigger down to start the air and then pull back slowly to start the paint...just trying to think of anything that might be the cause of your trouble...  |
