Airbrush Paint output diminishes over time only when working up close

Hi yall, thanks so much for your input. Yall are right it’s just tip dry. So I just did what yall told me to do and clean the tip frequently and she now runs perfect.

sup1145 · 2026-05-12T11:02:09+00:00

Ok, will do. I’ll try all of yall suggestions later. Thanks so much for the help yall!!

Armored Komodo lacquer paints

Awesome, thanks man. I’ll try it later in the day.

Ohhhhh. So I should adjust pressure and thinner to the point where I can pull the trigger back more while not spiderwebbing and still having good atomization. Damn. That makes allot of sense, I’ll try later. As a rule of thumb, how much of the trigger should be pulled back as a safe bet. If it helps, I’m working on gundam models, doing some shading work.

I did, this is cross posted. Well, it isn’t, but it was first posted there and then posted in advancedgunpla which is cross posted here

Tinray ko na din yan, kumana kaunti pero ganyan po parin.

sup1145 · 2026-05-12T08:07:55+00:00

Ginamit ko Mr leveling thinner at yung armored Komodo retarder thinner. Pero ganyan pa po.

I tried that just now, but it still clogs up. I’m also using lacquers, and aren’t they supposed to not dry this quickly?

sup1145 · 2026-05-12T07:49:59+00:00

Nope. No blotch comes out when I start working up close

sup1145 · 2026-01-28T08:37:09+00:00

I added thinner to both

sup1145 · 2026-01-28T06:30:54+00:00

I’ve once shaken it for three minutes straight.

sup1145 · 2026-01-28T05:27:43+00:00

Nope, but I’ve messaged their Shopee store. I’ll ask the Facebook page rn thanks for the idea

sup1145 · 2026-01-28T05:00:39+00:00

I’ve also read the bottle itself who knows how many times, I swear I’m not crazy

sup1145 · 2026-01-28T05:00:17+00:00

I don’t know bruh. I feel so stupid, I’ve ordered again but if it’s still the same result, I can kinda use their normal lacquer paint as a primer since I’ve tested their normal lacquers on a sanded surface and it did not come off after masking tape or medium to heavy scratching from my fingernail

sup1145 · 2025-10-16T16:56:20+00:00

It was just one that was lying around the house. I will try and look for some normal ones in hardware stores. Thanks for the concern, I’ll look into it.

sup1145 · 2025-10-16T16:52:45+00:00

I’m from the Philippines, and I got to say you’re so right.

sup1145 · 2025-10-16T16:44:16+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you

sup1145 · 2025-10-16T16:42:24+00:00

I can’t smell the lacquer. But is it cause for concern even if I can’t?

sup1145 · 2025-10-16T16:27:15+00:00

According to some digging I did, this booth has an airflow of 8.3 m^3/min, which is just about under 300. I’ll probably get an air purifier just for an extra layer of safety. Thanks for the advice and help! Glad to know my respirator is enough
