mark poulson Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 First, make sure your needle is retacting properly. A lot of times, paint and gunk in the needle barrel keeps the needle from moving freely, so, while a thin material like airbrush cleaner will pass the partially opened needle, the thicker paint won't. If the needle moves easily and completely, here's what I do. Be sure your brush has teflon-type O rings, so they are solvent-proof. Take the gun apart, soak the parts in acetone, use a small brush to be sure all the paint is gone from nozzle assembly, and then reassemble it. Run some clean acetone through it, including a couple of back flushes, to make sure the tiny air passages are totally clean, and run some clean water through it to clean out the last of the acetone You should be good to go.
