STILL couldn't get the airbrush to do right

I messed with the dang thing for well over an hour last night and at one point, I had the back off it and was loosening the screws, turn them abit and tighten them back down. Tried everything I could to get it to work. It actually did work for about 2 crank baits, that's it but there wasn't much paint coming out, least then like it was. I even tried thinning out the paint and it still wouldn't do right. Got to do something and was gonna actually TRY and tread the Manual but the dang text was so small I couldn't read it LOL

Hey Maachuu, what brand is yours? Mines the same and I forgot to write it down

Paasche

just read that you need to check that the 3 little holes are open that are located behind the nozzle part and beside the needle itself

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. It's wierd cause when you put your finger over the spray knozzle, air pumps back into the paint bowl so I know that part is clean. See if I can find some troubleshooting info on it

Put some duct tape on it.:D:D

Is there a way to increase the air pressure on the compressers? Think mines at about 20 and that's the minimum it's a 1/8th HP

I thought somebody said they were running at 35 psi but I am not sure. I am sure the will chime in in a minute.

spray can at Wally World $1.97 if it clogs up throw it away and go buy another.

Maybe its just the operator

I used to run my airbrush between 35 and 40 psi. Do you have a air pressure regulator on your compressor ? or did you buy one of those cheap air brush compressors that have a fixed rate of flow?

OK, Don, the thing with the guage on it is the air pressure regulator......turn the red knod clockwise and you should see the pressure come up on your guage. Turn it up to 35 lbs. It will drop when you trigger the air brush....this is normal.....it should go back to 35 when you take your finger off the trigger button. You got a good one Paasch is the best. I have the same air brush that you have and I run mine off of my shop air compressor ( 5 hp).....I have to turn the air pressure way down on it to get to 35 psi but it works good. I have not done any painting in years but I might get back at it sometime.

where the red ring it, I raised the black thing above it and turned it last night. I turned it BOTH WAYS, clockwise and cvounter but didn't see any change in pressure. I assuemed that was the regulator but since it didn't change the pressure, I wasn't sure

ahem.......what do your instructions have to say about it. When in doubt read the dadgum instructions......sheeeeesh! I am beginning to think Wannabe was right about you, Lmao
