Alclad grey primer, having troubles.

[mirageiv]

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is an airbrush problem or my technique for spring alclad primer. I cleaned my airbrush numerous times, total strip etc like I have done many times before. However when I sprayed a brand new bottle in very light coats (varied pressure to see if it made a difference, it didn't) I only managed a result like this,

Kinda spits it on, very pebbly and has a wide spray splatter making it impossible to spray a fine line. On a kit I am building atm, very pebbly finish,

I have seen very nice results with the primer so I know I'm doing it wrong but not sure why. Maybe it is an airbrush problem? I have an Iwata Neo and it has caused some trouble like this before, not very impressed with it tbh.

Any help or recommendations would be much appreciated, best regards,

David.

I sometimes find the Alclad primer quite thick and I've thinned it down which does the trick. I also find if the rooms warm it builds up quickly at the nozzle and quick clean of the nozzle with Alclad airbrush cleaner is required.
