Papa Lazarou Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi all I'm currently using some vallejo air through my airbrush and I seem to be getting some paint spatter, mainly on azure blue and white. Does anyone have any clue as to why? I usually run at about 20psi. Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271574-paint-spatter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Maybe the paint needs more shaking or thinning a little more? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271574-paint-spatter/#findComment-3309294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isador Sotho Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'd say the paint definitely needs more shaking.Sounds like the pigments separated from the acrylic medium. I always use stainless steel agitating balls in my paints. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271574-paint-spatter/#findComment-3309781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazarou Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Right I will shake the heck out of it and see how that goes. Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271574-paint-spatter/#findComment-3310958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
madscuzzy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Airbrush on low psi such as 20 causes splatter. The higher the PSI the 'finer' the airflow...
