In reply to Kelly. I am having the same issue with speckles and spots. And it is only with one particular color. So I am guessing the same as you, that my color is bad (even though I just bought it a couple months ago.) I poured some into a little vial to mix with a pearl sheen and there were little chunks in it.

I have an airbrush question for you – do airbrush colors go bad? By that I mean can they get so old that they won’t stay mixed? I received a brand new, high-quality airbrush as an early Christmas present and the spray is really ‘spotty’ so everything has a speckled look to it. The owner of the company (Shannon from Artfully Designed Creations) replaced the gun for me but I am having the same troubles. What makes me think my colors are bad (they are 2 years old) is that I found one color in the set that produced an even spray – the rest varied from slightly spotty to leaving big water-looking splotches. Thank you for any information you can give me!

Hi Missy,

It depends on the type of airbrush gun you have.

It does blow all the time on a Single Action Airbrush Gun.

It doesn’t flow all the time on a Dual Action Airbrush Gun. It will flow when you pull the trigger.

Here is tutorial that might help you see the difference: http://thebearfootbaker.com/2015/10/airbrush-gun-replacement/

Hope this helps!

Hello,
My mom had bought me a Cake boss air brush for an early Christmas gift. I got it out the box and hooked it up just to see how it works with water. Is air suppose to come out as soon as I power it on? Water wasn’t coming out the nozzle till I pushed the trigger. I didn’t know of its normal for air to blow all the time? Thanks for your time!

Hi Claire,

I am not sure about your airbrush gun. I feel better directing you to Edward. He is my airbrush master and will probably be able to help you. His email address id info@thesugarart.com. If you would like to talk to him on the phone, email me at lisa@thebearfootbaker.com and I will give you his phone number.

Many years ago I worked in a graphic arts studio and was required to purchase an airbrush gun to retouch photos. I haven’t used it in a long time. It was thoroughly cleaned and is stored in the wooden box in which it came. I do not have a compressor. My question is: Can I use this airbrush for cookie decorating so I don’t have to purchase another one (it was pretty pricey)? Also what type of compressor do you recommend? Thanking you in advance for any advice you can give.
