Hi Graham and welcome aboard. Could you give us a few more details like which brush you are using. The most likely cause of bubbles in the paint cup is some kind of blockage in the nozzle but there are other possibilities.

Sounds like you have a blockage, have you tried stripping it down and removing the needle?

Edit: Steve beat me too it

I would agree with the blockage idea, what airbrush is it?

Its a precision airbrush and I have stripped it down and put it back together also the thread on the nozzle keeps turning I think the thread in the nozzel is broken as I try to tighten it with the spanner it keep turning. I had an aztec airbrush while back can anyone tell me if there are still on the market?

Hi Graham,

The reason for the air bubbles in the colour cup is the thread is stripped and is allowing air to escape and cause blow back, as it would if there was a blockage.

All you need is a new nozzle to fix the problem.

Hope this helps.

Leslie.
