Why isn't my airbrush spraying?

Recommended Posts

I tried airbrushing for my FIRST time today & it won't work!  It will spray air, no paint.  Yes I pushed the bottom all the way down & pulled it all  the way back.  I tried thinning the paint; I tried a larger PSI.  Nothing worked.  Like I said, it blows air with no problem, no paint.  It won't even blow water!  The largest PSI I use was 40 PSI all the way down to 5 PSI.

It's clogged someplace. It happens to me sometimes. I use the wire from a wire brush, take the front end apart and using some cleaner flood the tiny holes and poke them through with the wire. Some of those holes are very tiny. If you have a small cone shaped brass item (the needle spindle or chuck) it needs cleaning.
