I came across a paasche type H air brush about six months ago. The problem is all the sudden when I try to paint with it the paint comes out watery. It's never done it before and I haven't changed the mixtures of paint. I have a filter on the compressor. Also I have a aztec and an old model master air brush and when I use the same paint in those brushes it sprays fine. I like the paasche and would like to keep it because it
works great when it's working. Am I doing somthing wrong with it?

Might try adjusting the paint to thinner ratio. I went from a single action to a double and found I had to change everything. This airbrush might just be tempermental to the mixture. I am just now starting to get the hang of mine.

I know that when I tried to use the same mixture for both brushes I thought the paint was going to blow back into my face. Your mixture will also be different with different types of paint.
