Before I pack this up and try to return it - has anyone had problems with the makeup not coming out of the airbrush? Is your compressor really loud?

Yes, one time the makeup didn't come out of the airbrush. I had to take it apart and clean the needle. From then on it has worked perfectly. You must clean it very well after each use. I put water in it and back flow it then spray it till all the water is dispersed. I would say the air it not real loud, but it does make a noise.

Don't send it back until you have called Belloccio's home office and explain your problem I did that and got wonderful results, Just Google their name and spend the money for long distance call and you won't be disappointed. Good luck. FD

I had the same problem... I contacted them and they replaced just the machine not the gun. They said if the gun doesn't work it's how you clean it. How did you clean your gun? I use mine for business all the time as i am a professional make up artist and so far after my husband cleaned it well it's working

Jo, do you have the lid on tight? If you pump up the presure, listen for any hissing or air escaping. Do you have the wand connection tight also? Also, the tip,.. if you have it on too tight it will not spray. And, if you are spraying a product that is semi liquid, it would clog up quick.

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material

Mine was decent. I wouldn't say well. It came with a lot of heavyweight paper crumpled up as packing material. The compressor worked fine out of the box.

this is my first so not sure what you mean--have been using for several months and very happy with it-compressor has 3 speeds-airbrush that comes with machine-has adjustable nozzle and control button for thumb that adjusts flow (using for makeup). this is exactly the same -as an identically appearing airbrush machine selling for much much more

Makeup is medium. The air brush gets clogged and have to keep cleaning. Then air flow just stops.

If you ask me I would say that there isn't much compressor noise. However the ice maker and catch tray is quite load I bought mine in January but I'm still getting used to it..... Hope this helps!

Not sure what you're saying, but the water in you moisture trap is a good thing. Worst case scenario, call airbrush Depot and see what rhwykk do to replace it.

I had to increase my PSI to get proper volume applying lacquer. I started out following the recommendations but that would not work for me. Certainly could be something wrong with my setup. Guns work very well and I certainly recommend for a lower priced gun.

You will need to go slowly to let the compressor catch-up with the gun. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, pick up a digital air regulator that attaches at the air inlet of the gun. When you set the gun preasure to the paint manufactures specification, have the trigger of the gun wide open and adjust while air is running through the gun. I use the digital regulator to make sure my setting is correct. That's more info than you asked for but these were issues when I used the gun. Good luck

Good morning. You may have to push it two/three times and the "solution" comes out in the centre of the bristles. I love it and also go to Kazumi for my regular colour. She is the best!!!!

I have to disagree with the other posters here. Maybe my Airscape is defective, but there is not a perfect seal even when you push the handle down ('closing' the air valve). Because of this, any extra pressure that builds up due to outgassing will bleed off to the same pressure as the surrounding air.

Mine was a piece of junk. It came cracked where the brushes go so none of the brushes could be attached. Return it if you can.

No. I did not have any problems. But make sure the brush head is on. If it is not pushed in correctly it will not work.

I'm not sure but I know you can return it to Amazon for a refund if not happy. Ihad to return the first one they sent because of a crack in a plastic part but the second one was just as new. I highly recommend these compressor/nailer combos and the price can't be beat. If your not sure about whether your getting the very best price... leave the item in your shopping cart for a few weeks until the price comes down to where you want it.

I checked with a friend who uses it a lot.. she just shakes it out.. she says that it is a problem. She likes your idea of a toothbrush.

Sharon, you need to rephrase the question. This is an air compressor, not a paint remover. Do you have a tool in mind you're looking to run off of it for removing paint? This is a very lightweight use compressor: balls, bike tires, small brad nailer--nothing high volume. I'm not certain what you're planning on doing, based on your question, but my best guess is: "Probably not"
