I have a revell airbrsh starter set and a can of air. but when i went to use it it came out normaly but them stoped working it still worked a bit but only just enough to be visable Ive watered down the paint slightly but is still happens.
:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

The paint may have dried blocking the tip.Try cleaning the tip with some thinners the same type as the paint you are using.This may help.Does the airbrush have a control for the paint spray width? You may need to open this a little if it has one so more paint can flow.Which airbrush is it you are using?

but it was the first time id used it and ive cleaned it sevaral times

im using a revells starter set were would the width control be and what can i use as thinner

im using a revells starter set were would the width control be and what can i use as thinner

If it's the airbrush I am thinking of you should be able to turn the nozzle that is on top of the lid of the glass jar part.As for thinner it depends what type of paint you are using?

ive tried that but it hasnt realy helped and as for the paint im using its the paint that came with it and ive tried fabric paint as well

It can only really be that the paint is too thick. Try thinners and then build the paint consitency up from there...

thanks

don't use water to thin the paint, you should use some acrylic thinner if you are using acrylic paint, water has to many contaminates, unless it's distilled.

also place the can of "air" in a bucket of warm water. as you release pressure from the can, the can gets really cold. the colder it gets the more it freezes the contents of the can and you will actually lose pressure. and don't shake it at all, make sure it is vertical while using it too, this keeps the contents at the bottom of the can in the warm water.

Forget about the air cans. They are simply waste of money. They work properly for a couple of seconds then gets too warm, too cold, or too whatever....

Spare your money and buy a proper compressor that can deliver 2-3 Bar continuously. Revell Beta compressor is Ok (only Ok, not excellent) but it is expensive and not that reliable. It fails to deliver sufficient pressure once the hose looses some flexibility. Ebay is, or used to be full of air brush compressors. Pick up one with 2-3 Bar working pressure and save your time, nerves and money.

The best compressors are those available at hardware stores. But they are LOUD. If noise is not a problem for your neighbors, go ahead and get one.

I'd agree whole heartedly with Khier - the air 'bombs' are a waste of money and you will soon find that you've spent as much buying replacements as you would in investing in a small compressor. Ebay is the place.
