thanks gents! i believe lo-temp (65 in dungeon) + cheapola paint + not thinned properly + nit wit using it = non functioning airbrush!
i just finished e'm up with spraycans, damn, if the cans didn't kill me, i love the ease of use and plugs look great too.
thanks.

Jeff,

I do all of my airbrushing in an detached unheated garage over the winter so its very rarely ever 65 degrees (as you will soon find out). I suggest pumping up the pressure and thinning the paint more and stirring more frequently. I use an iwata and is gravity fed versus in a bottle. Turn up the pressure and let me know if that helps.

Kindest,
Billy

I've found some colors/batches of ceramacoat need a little more thinning than others.... practice and experience will bring these problems to an end...

I have a 175... and love the gun ( I love my Iwata's more) I use the 175 strickly for spraying metalics... and relegate the other two for the finer work.... BTW.. I hate painting( I think I"ve mentioned this a time or two).... I'm contemplating fishin 'em nakid next year .. just sealer and e-tex...when it comes down to it.. fish dont give a fat rats @$$ about the color ... only what it represents......
