I have a new Krome. It seems very prone to air leaking into the paint cup. And occassionally it will suddenly route all air out the cup. When this happens, all the paint exits the cup in an instant, destroying the paint job I am working on and making a horrible mess. This is unacceptable.
I have taken the whole airbrush apart at least 10 times for a thorough cleaning. The chamber below the cup is very difficult to clean thoroughly as it has poor access and complex contours.
I am also confused about the front most piece, which the needle and nozzle project through. If screwed in completely, no air can exit the brush. It needs to be loosened to work at all. And the degree of looseness seems to control air flow capacity. Yet I can find no accounts of this being a proper way to calibrate airflow. I thought that was what the dual action trigger was for. Though I now see this part is called the regulator, but I don't see it being mentioned as such in tutorials.
Many years ago I had an entry level Paaxche which was a breeze to use. This one is unmanageable.
The "documentation" that came with this is pure crap. It contains virtually no instructions and does not mention the Krome model. 85% of the instructions are about replacing the PTFE paint seal, which is not likely to happen for many years. The print is microscopic. NOT ONE SINGLE WORD ON USAGE.
I understand from other sources that viscosity ought to be same as skimmed milk. If it is that viscosity particular it ought to have come with a viscosity gauge.
So far, I have to rate this product a huge fail!
Please help!
