Hi, when airbrushing i get the problem that bubles are blown inside the paint cup on top of the airbrush gun. As such this causes to spill and splatter the paint outside the cup, no paint at all is comming trough the nozzle.
It is clogged and needs to be disassembled and cleaned with MEK. methyl ethel ketone It is clogged and needs to be disassembled and cleaned with MEK. methyl ethel ketone

Airbrushes are hand-held and used instead of a brush for
detailed work. Spray guns can be either automated or hand-held and have
interchangeable heads to allow for different spray patterns.
An airbrush is a
small, air-operated tool that sprays various media
including ink and dye. Spray guns were developed from
the airbrush and are still considered a type of airbrush.
There are a lot of variables while airbrushing. If you are having trouble with a new airbrush(or one that isn't hugely gunked up) you likely need to do 1 or both of the following to get it to spray the paint: 1) Thin your paint, use the correct medium based on the paint type. Water can be used to thin water-based paints but too much will result in a bad coat and finish. You are looking for a milk-slightly thicker than milker consistency. 2) Crank up the air through the airbrush. Assuming you have a regulator you may need to turn the pressure up to get thicker paints to spray. If you are using a siphon feed you may need a couple extra PSI to recoup for what you are losing from the syphon. Make sure to check the max pressure your airbrush can handle before cranking it too high(most can handle at least 30 PSI). Hope this helps.
I assume you have adjusted the nozzle... On my unit, there is a SMALL hole in the cap for the cups to let in air above the paint. Also OFTEN the paint must be thinned to use in an airbrush. Since you havent been able to draw water even, thinning is NOT the problem.
The airbrush aspirates the paint by Bernouli's principle, that is where there is higher velocity of a fluid, there is a lower pressure. The nozzle creates that and the adjustment is important. On mine which is a "Wren", I think by Binks there is a conical piece that the paint comes out of with a throttling needle. This has the be unscrewed to open the paint path and adjust it. The air flows at high speed around this cone creating a vacuum.
The headline says "Eclipse" but that is a gravity feed so I suspect that is the old Fixya problem of having incomplete choices to pick from.
Make sure the needle is pushed completely up against the tip. You will possibly have to take the back handle off to adjust it. (I am not familiar with this paint gun specifically). Make sure you do not force the needle into the tip, gentley push it until it stops.
I hope this helps.
I suggest that you go to the Library and look up how to airbrush. The paint goes into the cup. Nozzle adjustments are learned as you go, for desired results. Good luck
