I don't know if anyone on here uses one.... I use one for my bird carvings.
the problem is that i get a small spatter of paint when i first press the button?
If i keep my finger on the button, all the time its ok... its only when i start ..
I stripped gun down & cleaned it, still the same ,never had problems before..
tried thinning the paint down...still the same, is it paint problem or air...thanks mark.

Could you solve it by starting on a scratch piece and then move to the art... I remember something like that from years ago when I used one . I was told it was a paint problem...
 
colleenc, thanks for reply ,problem solved...my airbrush is syphon fed from a
small bowl, there was dried paint in the tube that feeds the gun, managed to clean it with pin...
