first off...



second..... i clean the nozzles, i clean the brush, i clean the nozzles. i clean the brush.....but it never fails, the nozzles get clogged...no its not the paint thats to thick cuz this damn thing wont even shoot out water! water for petes sake! i'm starting to think that my nozzles have failed, so anywho, i'm ordering new nozzles reguardless of the situation, i'll prob just order 2 of each (gray red and tan)

this aztek 4709 is supposed to be "top of the line for airbrushing armor" ........whatever top of the line means

Hi Shain:

Have you tried taking apart the nozzles and then cleaning them? You would be amazed at the amount of build up that occurs inside those tips. Since I started doing that, my clogging issues have almost disappeared.

hmmmmmmmz Very strange indeed. Maybe you can clean the inside of the airbrush. I did that too and you'll be amazed about all the paint clogged up.

You can always give it a try,

good luck

If I do not use my 470 for a couple of days, the needle will hang up in the nozzle when a make the first pull. Before I start a session I have gotten into the habit of pulling the needle out of the nozzle, cleaning it and lubricating with mineral spirits. Works eveytime.

I had a similar problem with my Pascce C.C. using Tamyia, the paint was drying inside a.b. before it reached the tip.I wil be buying Vallejo Air in future.

I have had the same problem with my Aztek A470. I have just come to the conclusion that I have to take the nozzles apart often, especially when spraying acrylics as they dry so fast.

I have the same problem from time to time. I've too taken my nozzles apart and cleaned them, but since I have been carefull about shooting the color clean and soaking after use the problems have also almost disappeared. If I didn't love the quick color change facilitated in the A/B I might consider changing...

i had a similar problem a whiles ago, check this thread out, it has a neat link to a page that shows you the inside of the azzer, and after following the advice there my a/b works beautifully ( check out my gallery the ar 234 was entirely done with my aztek 470 https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/38902&page=1

Try this, I have an aztek 430 same nozzles and brush and it works like a charm.
