Testors Complete Airbrush System

I'm new to airbrushing and I recently bought the Testors Complete Airbrush System. Figured it would be a good start for a beginner. But for some reason I just can't get it to spay any paint I'm totally lost on why. I put two parts paint 1 part paint tinner, mixed it and thought that would do the trick, nope. So I kept adding a bit more paint tinner mixing and trying again and again until there was pretty much very little paint left mostly just paint thinner.



Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong, the instructions that come with the system are weak at best and don't talk about how to mix paint or anything like that for this system.



Thanks in advance.

google would be your best friend here. start with testor's website. you can email them, too. we can help, but google would be fastest. sounds like it isn't set up correctly. needle, air pressure, etc. but don't be afrais to ask. and also give more information like model, compressor type or air can, etc. gives us details, ok?

Try just seeing if even can spray first. Try just using/spraying straight water or alcohol (just be careful doing the latter near any open flame - trust me). You might have a clog. You also might take it apart as if you were cleaning it and make sure you don't have a damaged airbrush. I use the Testors/Aztek A778 and I have replaced many a tip over the years but clean up is fast with this bugger.
