Thread: No Paint

Howzit All, I'm a newbie to AB and i just got a Master G23 Airbursh & TC-20 compressor. When i first tried it out everything seemed to work just fine i used for about 20 minutes with the compressor set between 30 to 35 psi and had no issues.

I wanted to work on a project today and loaded my AB with ink and only got air coming out and no paint. I took apart the airbrush to clean it up and followed your instructions to the T on how to put it back together but i'm still getting only air out the AB and no ink.

Any ideas on what i can do?

Many Thanks,

First thing you do when you go to try your brush is try just straight solvent or water through it, that way, if it isn't working, you aren't having to fight the paint to get it clean and working again.
That being said, check the following;
Make sure your needle chucking nut is tight, if it's loose, then you pulling back on the trigger won't pull the needle back out of the fluid nozzle.
If the needle chucking nut is tight, and you still don't get paint coming out when you depress the trigger and pull it back, then you need to do a thorough cleaning on your brush.

What kind of paint did you use?

What method of cleaning do you use?
