I've come up with (IMHO) a better mix for RAF 'Azure' blue using Tamiya's acrylics. Compared to the old 'Aeromaster' line, and the RAF Museum's color chips. White XF02 : 50 Flat Blue XF08 : 2 Med. Blue XF18 : 2 Purple X16 : 1

Hi chaps. I recently tried spraying tamiya acrylic metallic silver through my airbrush and I'm having problems. It's only a cheap airbrush I'm using, but it's worked well with other colours/paints. I tried the tamiya silver through it, but got issues with clogging. On emptying the colours cup it looks like the metallic particles in the paint have fell out of suspension, and accumulated in the base of the cup. This in turn has blocked the way to the needle and nozzle. It was a rather large problem to clean it all out. I'm using a 0.2 needle/nozzle on it, could that be the issue? It almost seems like the fluid part of the paint has flowed through the airbrush fine, and it's done a good job of straining the metallic particles out of the paint. Would a larger needle and nozzle combination be a better bet? Looking forward to someone else input into this, as I'm scratching my head over it. Matt
