Brought a compressor set off of ebay air is getting up to the airbrush as the compressors compressed it but the gun doesnt want to let any air through. Help would be appreciated

Sounds like you have a valve problem in your brush, or your needle cone is clogged.

Also, if you can a bit more information;
The compressor and airbrush, and the psi you are using.

hope it works out, airbrushing is awesome, and once you get the hang of it, will love it!!!

Best of luck!

hmm not a bad deal.
btw, if your using the siphon brush it takes a bit more pressure than a grav fed. i think range is like 20+ psi? i cant recall.

You should also dis assemble the airbrush and double check the assembly and make sure its good.

I was just trying to get an airflow through the brush tbh I know painting will require the higher pressure as this will be the base coating brush. I did disassemble it but it still didn't allow air to pass? It was shipped with two siphons when I wanted the gravity ones but both aren't working

Got it working this morning I had over tightened an adapter between the airbrush and hose. Thanks for the help
