I've been airbrushing for many years. I use acrylics, enamels, and Lacquers.


I just tried spraying some Dura aluminum Alclad with my airbrush and it is blowing out fuzzy.


any ideas why?

The only think I can think of is air pressure issues.

The only time I have had a rough texture paint job was when the paint was drying before it made it to the surface. I assume when you say fuzzy you mean rough and not hairy like a tarantula or like cotton candy. I assume you are spraying from too far away or not spraying enough paint.

I saw this in another post.

"I tried hardware lacquer thinner this morning but for some reason it blew out a fuzzy cotton like paint." Could their have been some thinner accidentally/ forgottenlly put into the paint?
