tip dry right?

[huskystafford]

I am playing with green color and I get darker spots. Paint is very well mixed, and I had this issue only with green color. It's pure paint ,no reducer, 0.5 and 20 psi. I suspect this is spitting of paint, the part which I don't understand is that those spots are darker then the object when it's fully saturated with paint. So is this cause of paint build up on needle and then airbrush just spits it?

What kind of paint is it? I'd think you need to reduce it some?

wicked. I think I should , but I did the same stuff with bunch of other colors and I didn't have the same issue. Only the green color.

 

[Jurien72]

Well, some colors are different than others, especially with wicked!

this is 40 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue. I have this issue on 40drops yellow 1 drop blue, 30 drops of yellow 1 drop blue, but I don't have this issue with 20drops of yellow 1 drop of blue.

Try using 2 drops of blue

I do not question the Reduction Gods, I just do as they say!

I will try also with reducing. I wonted to see if I can pull it without reduction

Green is a hard one to spray fade with just due to the build up of dry paint on the needle and it flying off due to you are keeping the paint flow high.
If I use a green for a fade I will do it in many light layers I will start at the lightest are the work my way down. that way if or when the tip dry splatter happens I can usually cover it on the next layer.

Pretty much anything thru an airbrush is going to need some sort of reduction. Either that or try a higher psi?

 

[Jurien72]

Oh yeah, pull your needle out and see if there is paint on the tip? I need some of those hollow q-tips.

well to be honest it's my first time with this problem. I was a little confused with this I was like: Damn my green has Chickenpox

 

[Jurien72]

Lol I usually think my paint has Jimmypox. Its a rare disease that paint gets after coming into contact with me!

Working nicely now. I just need to clean tip a lot and I don't have issues anymore.

So it was just tip dry. Well problem solved!
