Try adding some reducer to your paint. It sounds like your paint is drying too fast.

Extender not reducer.

sorry about the second post but what else could the problem be if it isnt the paint drying soo quick?

If you are cleaning the brush with water and windex between colors, I do not know what would allow paint to dry on the interior part of the needle.

Has your needle gotten bent at all?

I make sure that I clean well between colors and spray a cup of windex and water. This normally is all I need to do to ensure the internal portion is clean while spraying. After all spraying is complete I tear the brush down and soak in water and Dawn dish detergent for 2 hours.

I use cheap acrylic paints so I always have this problem. I just keep a wet Q-tip close by, and when the tip dries, I stick it into the tip and give it little twist and I'm back in bid-ness.
