Gaahleri Barbatos Rex Airbrush Trigger issues.
Hey all,
Just a little backstory and context. I purchased a GT-918 Compressor, GHAD-68 and Barbatos Rex directly from Gaahleri. The compressor and GHAD have been great, but unfortunately, the Rex has been giving me some trouble.
After unboxing and checking out the airbrush I noticed that the trigger wouldn’t return completely to its original position after pulling it back. Being a beginner, I wasn’t sure whether this was normal, so I connected it to the compressor to test it.
I don't think it was spraying properly, again i'm a beginner but the main issue was because the trigger wasn’t returning fully to its base position, air would continue flowing through the airbrush unless i pushed it back to base. There was no paint coming out because the trigger was getting stuck near the end of release.
I’ve been in contact with Gaahleri’s support team and, to be fair, they’ve been very responsive and the overall experience with their support has been good.
There was a process to go through though. They wanted to send me a replacement needle chucking guide, which I was fairly certain wouldn’t fix the issue and it didn’t.
They've agreed to send me a replacement, which is great.
I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this particular issue with the Rex and, if so, whether you were able to fix it?
From looking at the mechanism, I’m wondering if the problem could be related to the slider, slider spring or spring case, as something seems to be preventing the trigger from returning fully to its base position.
Would be really interested to hear if anyone else has had the same issue and fixed it?
