Question 1

I am trying to use this for the first time, but there is no paint coming out. What am i doing wrong?

Accepted Answer

Is the paint too thick?  Have you opened the valve that adjusts the paint flow enough?

Question 2

To clean the brush at the end of a session, should I remove the needle? All videos say to do that but the instructions say use blowback. Will that do?

Accepted Answer

I only remove the needle about once every half dozen uses, or even less. Its not necessary every time simply because the pigment residue by definition is always at the business end of the airbrush and that's where blockages occur. Plus there's always the risk of the valve control being misaligned and the resultant traumas of replacing it should you remove the needle completely. The full length of the needle does need a good clean once in a while though. Its more important however after every use to always remove the tip screw cap(s) and thoroughly clean them.

Question 3

Where do you buy spare parts ect and Tehnical usage advise for beginners  .and does it come with instructions to help first time user

Accepted Answer

You can buy parts for this from Amazon. The parts are standard air brush parts. I looked on YouTube for my beginners help. It is really easy to use. It is straight forward. I used acrylic paint and I bought acrylic thinner to make the paint thinner. It’s sprays well and comes with extra needles and nozzles for the end of the airbrush. It is also easy to clean you just unscrew the back and  take the needle out to clean. But you can clean with out taking the needle out. Clean it every time you have finished using it with warm water. It stops the paint drying at the nozzle. I bought this to customise my trainers and it has done really well.
