advice needed from the airbrush experts please
 
Hi to you all ,

in process of airbrushing my first body shell when using airbrush to do fine line i have noticed paint flow stops , i have to increase paint flow right out an then reset it to fine again it gets very annoying using faskolor paint ,
is it too high air pressure for paint flow :confused: or does any one else experience this :confused:

thanks any info would be gratefull
will post a pic of me shell when done , well jealous of the quality of paint work on here

Sounds like the paint is to thick and needs thinning down a little, should be the consistency of full fat milk.

could be air or paint ratios.
could also be dried paint in the nozzle or cap etc..

OR... Tip dry, when spraying continued fine lines you can get a build up on the need, I work without the air cap on ( fatal if you drop it ) and then just have a tissue soaked in thinner and wipe the tip of the needle very carefully every time I see it's building it. It's a problem that happens more with water based paints but any paint will do it if you're doing constant fine line work.

If you wipe the needle though be super careful as they easy to bend and then you won't get a fine line.
