issues airbrushing createx/ fascolor

[LoneRanger]

Its been a while since I have airbrushed much, but wanted to give it a go again on a "junker" rally body. I cannot for the life of me get my Paasche VL to spray this paint. it sputters and spits and coughs then sprays nothing.

yes, its clean (ridiculously clean) I finnaly thinned the paint 50% with water and it was better, but not what I remember it should have been.

and I know everything says you should be able to spray it straight out of the bottle, but you had better have a freaking HUGE tip to make that work.

try different pressures from air supply.
some "old" paints need more than a 50% mix due to how they age.

Last attempt at using that paint resulted in me cranking my compressor WAY up to get it to spray right.

I went to the largest tip and that helped. still not satisfied though!

Not that it would make a difference for your problem but I always use windex to thin my water base paints. It seems to spray alot cleaner.

I paint my share of bodies and refuse to use that paint as much as possible..

but when I have to, I thin it down with windex or alcohol..

and turn the pressure up to 60psi... oh and a big tip....

I have a crappy Badger 150 that I use it with....


good luck...........
