Dead old faithfull

I started an airbrush session this afternoon, getting some basic shades down on some figure heads, when no paint was coming through then a big pop and paint everywhere. Now no pressure at all.

Oh dear…..well, at least the spice girls came in handy. What seems to have failed? Does the motor run, or is everything kaput?

Good job you weren't spraying white.... you might have some awkward explaining to do..

Yup with that colour I was thinking diapers could solve the problem...something tells me there's a Taxi waiting outside.

How long have you had the compressor Steve? If the motor is running and there is no pressure, it could be the diaphragm that's ruptured or the tank and that could be rust dirt and not paint. There's normally a screw outlet tap to drain any liquid forming in the tank...perhaps that has come loose? Need more images for further analysis.
