I spray paint alot lower than that sometimes below 10 psi with no problems (different airbrush tho) I think that you are likely to have a blockage in the nozzle, I personally would try spraying some airbrush cleaner through it and give it a thorough cleaning if that doesn't work then I would try a different compressor if possible (doesn't have to be one designed for airbrushing any good hobby/work compressor would do the trick).

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Yeah, from experience the Aztec doesn't like low pressures that most double action quality brushes can handle. I had similar problems with one in conjunction with an old Holding compressor that couldn't maintain much more than 30 psi when spraying larger areas continuously. It would just peter out, and clog!
