    You seem to have edited out your question.

    From what I saw last night I'd wager on a problem with the paint. Have you tried giving it a good stir just in case it's settled heavily and shaking doesn't cut it?

    I'd try stirring for a minute, letting it sit for 10 to homogenise, then stir / shake again.

    Has it got really cold at any time? Anything below about 4°C can ruin water based paint.

          It helps if you explain what the problem is , because without any idea the first questions would be

          1. is it attached to a compressor?
          2, is it set to the correct pressure for the paint ?
          3. what paint ?
          4. have you thinned the paint ?
          5. if so , what make and model of thinners did you use ?

              I’ve attached the airbrush to the compressor now and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks

                That usually helps.

                  Only if the compressor is switched on, otherwise you won’t get far :thumb2:
