My Badger Anthem155 has recently started sputtering paint. When I try to spray the effect is similar to trying to spray a garden hose with a slight kink in it. The paint comes out and within seconds it starts doing this.
The first thing I did was disassemble and deep clean the entire brush. Same problem. Then I replaced the needle and the valve assembly with brand new ones I keep for back up. Still sputtering.
I've been airbrushing for a few years now and have never had a problem like this. So Im positive its not an issue with paint thickness or what have you. My Badger Patriot works fine with the same paint consistency.
I always use the jar with the siphon tube. So I tried to spray using the color cup instead and had the same problem.
Seems like as soon as I solve one issue with my airbrushes something else goes wrong
