I remember having such problems when I first tried using an airbrush. It was like the airbrush somehow knew that I was a rookie, and tried to throw me off the saddle. Try spraying ink while wearing a brand new, expensive shirt. I guarantee the airbrush will start spraying ink all over the place then.

Actually, what are you using for an air supply? Does it have a regulator? Have you tried spraying anything besides water? Add a tiny drop of dish soap to it, it'll make it flow better. Add some food coloring, makes it easier to see what you are doing. Or try ink instead, it really does spray better than plain water.

i am using testors airbrush propellant and no it doesnt have a regulator. I used soap and a little drop of paint to just give it a color but still isnt spraying.

I'm closing this one and leaving it in the basic airbrushing thread, where I'd like to keep "noob" answers for posterity.

We'll get this straightened out.
