When you are done spraying a color or when getting ready to put the airbrush away, remove the bottle from the airbrush and either use a rag or paper towel to catch the material from the supply connection. Press a rag or paper towel over the tip of the airbrush and depress the air trigger and spray, just as if you are painting. Any paint left in the tube will blow or flush out of the supply connection. Be careful not to damage the tip of the needle.

Also when using a airbrush and the tip gets dirty or starts spitting, Take hold of the back of the needle assembly (where the knurled nuts hold it) and gently pull it back while spraying into a towel or onto the wall. That will usually clear any junk in the tip and the flow should be smooth again. Of course that depends on a properly mixed supply of paint.

Sometimes airbrushes suck! Not blows!!
