Hi all!
I'm having great problems with my aztek dubble action airbrush and I can se in other forums all over the web that I'm not the only one.
Tips like cleaning up and thin out the paint more and add pressure to the compressor. But I have tried most of it and it's only helping the next 5 minutes if I'm lucky. It's problems like spitting(solution: cleaning the openingpoint), spontanius sneezeing(love this one), no paint at all, all paint at once.. The list goes on. I can clean/fix this nightmare up to 8 times while painting ONE layer on one 1/35 tank. Thats like 1 minute max of happy painting and 3 minutes to fix sneezeing and enless time of cleaning/fixing. I really enjoy when it works.
There is one thing I can't try though. I work under the airpressure of 2 'cause my small revell gamma compressor don't have any tank to fill(small apartment and live with wife and angry cat). The meter goes up to 4 but when I start to paint the pressure will be constant 2. I'm using vallejo air paints.
So here is my question; What airbrush(prefer dubble action) should I go for, and will it be fixed even if the airpressure is 2.
Thanks in advance!
