Matt did you use the right thinner for your paints?
Cause I had some problems using certain acrylic paints watered down with...water. They needed a specific thinner otherwise the pigment would not "spread" into the mix but stayed too dense (I could not notice that just by mixing or by eyesight, actually had to try spraying), causing the airbrush not to work properly.
The can also has its toll, the pressure is not constant after a few seconds and it's a pain in the a**.
So I know it's expensive but I suggest to get a compressor.

Sorry for bad english, hope it's clear enough
