Hello fellow modelers!
I have a Evolution Silver line 2 in 1 action air brush that I never seem to get to work really. I havent been painting for a long time (only building) because being so frustrated with it. It's my first "better" air brush.
The problem with it is that as soon as I put just a small pressure on the button the paint starts to bubble up in the cup and the paint comes out uneavenly. I have tried to clean it carefully many times, because I thought it might be clogged up, but to no help. Might it be the pressure on the compressor or is the air brush screwed?

Check your last connection where the needle comes out from (the nozzle). I have found that if the gasket is missing (have lost several during disassembly) this can cause the "bubble up" effect. Also if that fitting is not tightened down properly you can get the same issue. Check your nozzle and gasket and get back to us. Cheers.

Yup, sounds like a missing O ring or the head of the airbrush isnt tightened all the way down or the nozzle is partially blocked. Also, make sure the needle tip isnt bent

Dont worry mate I had the same problem 2 months ago and someone on here helped me out. Now I'm a painting god, bow down and marvel at my acrylic mastery.
