I've been using my airbrush set-up to apply Gun Kote to an FAL project I'm working on.

The thing was chugging along fine and then the pressure started dropping every time I depressed the airbrush button.

I set the regulator at 22-25 PSI and it would drop to around 15-18 PSI (no paint flow).
Then I boosted the pressure up to around 40-50 PSI to see what would happen, the pressure still dropped down to less than 20 PSI.

I checked for any leaks around the compressor seals, fittings, hose line, regulator, etc and there were none.

The compressor is a Sparmax AC-100 (tankless model).

Any ideas of what could be wrong and/or how to fix it?
