How do I keep my airbrush from splattering? Other than to keep wiping the tip which seems like I have to do every 30 seconds what else could I be doing? I have a double action Badger 150. Thanks guys you haven't let me down yet.
1. Your paint is too thin.
2. Your nozzle is cracked (remove the needle from the brush, then remove the nozzle and clean, then with a magnifying glass, look closely a the tip of the nozzle.

How long is the hose from the compressor to your airbrush because the pressure drops over distance ,i forget the fomula but i would up the pressure up a little and try and see if that improves the splatter and it easy enough to do as a first step at diagnosing the problem.
I get spatter when the brush gets dirty.. pull needle out and clean it with a pencil eraser..Clean inside of nozzle assembly with a toothpick .. Careful if you never took it apart before.. The trigger and the little piece that backs it up will fall out when you slide the needle out . Take a good look at it before you start so you get everything back the right way and don't loose anything. put some white paper towels out and do it over that so if anything falls it don't bounce on the floor .You can never drop the brush and bend the needle either.. Good news is parts are readily available for badger..
