Why does my airbrush leak paint out like this?
( I use the paint cup)
I would have thought you could see where it was coming from before it got that bad. Are you tipping the cup when it’s full of paint?
Don
a bit, but I can’t tell where it’s coming from
The only thing I can think of is that maybe you are shooting downward and there is a leak from the cup. You need to experiment. Try plain water and hold the airbrush level. If that’s OK, try pointing it down.
There may be a poor seal between the cup and the brush. You might try spraying from a bottle to see if it still does it.
Don
Ok I will try it
Does anyone know if the Paasche TG is good for MM enamels?
Most airbrushes will spray enamels fine, and the Talon is no exception.

tcepilot you many still have a bit of smuch (an air brush tech. term 
) in the passageways.
Try to take it apart and give it a deep cleaning with lacquer thinner and small brushs. I carefully use dental brushs (@ $ store) and gently swab out the openings. don’t forget the airways as well as the paint ways -the cup and the air brush’s.
This isn’t brain surgery but you have to treat it like a delicate operation- no hammers allowed 
.
As you reassemble keep aware of how parts go together, they should fit easily and come together easily- if you have to push or twist it hard, then something is wrong- back off and carefully try again.
I’m sure you know all of this but sometimes you fool yourself into 
the brush is clean and it isn’t (dont ask how I know 
).
Then as the others stated check you painting technique - tipping the brush etc.
Good Luck and keep up your good work - your Vietnam Air War GB is looking fine .
