Airbrush help - jcoffman99 - 08-10-2026
So I'm having the worst time with my airbrushes regarding the Archive-X acrylics.
When I use Vallejo Air (premixed for airbrush paint) I have no issues.
With the Archive-X I mix it one to one with their thinner. I give the airbrush a push and then paint comes out for about three seconds. Then I have to stop, hit the air again and then I get another few seconds. Rinse and repeat. I've tried my pressure at various settings between 20 and 40.
Is this a clogging issue because the paint is too thick? Why can't I seem to get a constant flow? There are times when it does work the way it's supposed to but then I run out of paint and have to remix and then it starts all over again.
Thanks,
John
