i have a cheapo calhawk AB but its deacent. Im having a hell of a time trying to get paint to work. The guy suggested Testors with the Testors thinner for Abing. At first it just clogged my ab EVERY TIME! so i kept thinning and thinning and thinning (drops at a time to get it right) and now it sprays but it "spits" and a thick blob of un-thinned paint forms and grows off the end of the nozzle. WTF? is it me not doin up the paint right? wrong paint? the AB?
