A while back I bought myself a internal mix dual action airbrush to replace my plastic external mix one. I played around with it a bit, see what effect the different nozzles had. When I replaced a nozzle, I first filled the gravity-feed cup with turpentine, and let it spray through the nozzle. Bout halfway through, no more pigment would come from the airbrush, so I figured it was clean. I sprayed the enire cup anyway, just to make sure no paint was left inside. When this weekend I wanted to start painting a model, no paint whatsoever came out of the airbrush. Any thoughts on what is wrong and how I could fix it? Kinda reluctant to believe the nozzles are clogged with paint, but where else could it be?
