hey!
Iam new to airbrushing, and I have some problems.
When I airbrush, it spits paint. Usely when i push down the
trigger. And somethimes it will just not stop. I can se that
its a loot of paint in the nozzle. maby I need to clean it better ?? Is the paint mix wrong ??
use ony tamiya paints whit tamiya thinner. what mix ration do you recomend ??
I have a tamiya work hg-s 0.7g
and a sparmax ac-55 if that helps.

Hi Mathias,
Thin Tamiya paints 1:1.
Spitting is because of:
Too thick paint
too low air pressure
nozzle clogged
If paint collects in the nozzle, clean it with a cotton swab and thinner. Adjust the other issues and let us know how you do.

I agree with Matthew. Work through each of his points till the spray works.
