Next time you disassemble and clean your airbrush, here’s an inexpensive and effective way to test it after reassembly: Load it with water and a little bit of food coloring. If your airbrush’s needle is properly seated, when you close the tip down under pressure nothing should escape the front of the brush. Then open it and spray different patterns onto a white paper towel to ensure the needle and tip are functioning properly. Cleanup is easy; just rinse with water.
