water from the head. you have the main body of the
gun the needle sticks out of the front then the little
cone thing gose over the needle and is held in place
with a threded cover then you have the spray tip

the water is bubbleing from. if i take the gun off
the hose and let the air blow into a napkin it get's

compressor of the water. messed up one ot two

mine came with a water catch when i got mine. i had a sears tire compressor i was using and it did the same with water becuase it didnt have the catch. is your compressor made for air brushing or like a tire compressor. you can keep a cheap compressor from www.airbrushcity.com i ordered my kit from there. a few people said there stuff is crap like the air brushes, i have 3 and a compressor that work great. the brushes are really a no name brand but work good, and all has lifetime warrenty

Try adding an inline type water separator, it goes in the middle of the airhose. Badger and Paasche both make them.

I used to have a similar problem, the water would build up and burst out in a pulse ruining the paint job. Then I got an in-line water filter/regulator that fixed it up 90%. Wasn't until I bought a new compressor with a holding tank that the problem was eliminated completely.
