I'm trying to use the quote button but it's not doing anything (only tried on one post so haven't tested to see if it might be a problem with that post). Anyone else having problems? It's telling me it's loading but no matter how long I leave it, it doesn't load. Anyone else?

Long story short, I have not had an enjoyable day of modelling. My new airbrush+compressor, bought to replace my previous one that had started acting up, turned out to be even worse both in the compressor and the airbrush (low power spray, spitting, popping from the brush) despite being the exact same make and model. Shaken my confidence in my airbrush (even a new one) to perform as expected. To make matters worse, when I finally got a bit of painting done, two things happened. I recently purchased two pots of Tamiya Flat Black since I was always running out. In using the first one, not only did the new airbrush seem to eat up more paint than it spat out, but I got weird wet sploches throughout. After switching over to the other pot, an even worse result occurred. Bear in mind this is FLAT Black, it came out looking like Gloss Black. It dried as a Gloss as well. Capping off the day was a bottle of Vallejo paint that was unbelievably tedious to use and spray. Ordinarily I never have any problems with Tamiya paints other than a bit of spitting when I use white, but this was truly unbelievable. I can't tell if the paint has been mislabeled or what. Both pots were thinned in the same way as all previous pots of black have been. Airbrushing used to be quick and easy for me, but since mine went on the blink I've been stalled. Today was supposed to be a glorious return with maybe an hour of work, but turned into a 6-hour nightmare While many people swear by Vallejo, I'm less than impressed with this bottle of Model Air. I just wish Tamiya would add some new colours to their range...and not put gloss paint in a matt pot. Anyone had similar troubles with Tamiya? Gaz

Hello, I'm new to airbrushing and I'm experiencing some problems. Whenever I'm spraying paint the paint never seems to dry, it just sits there and stays wet and will turn to a very dark colour. Is my pressure wrong or is my paint too thin? I'm currently using Humbrol acrylic paints and I'm using Humbrol acrylic thinners. My airbrush is a H&S Infinity and I'm using a Sparmax TC-610H compressor. If someone can tell me what the problem is that would be most helpful. Thank You Fraser
