Been using it for 2 months without a problem turn it on yesterday and started working ok then suddenly just stopped building prussure
There can be several reasons - but first check connectors if there is lose connection and therefore loss of air and pressure.
if there is no pressure at all from outlet:
1. switch on the compressor
2. open drain valve and check for airflow (this is this small nut on the bottom of clear bit),
if there is airflow:
1. close drain valve
2. remove air hose from outlet and check for airflow
3. lift regulator valve and screw it back to minimum (anticlockwise), value on the gauge should be 0 (zero)
3. lift regulator valve and now open it (turn clockwise) in full, check for airflow,
if there is no flow, now, that suggest regulator assembly is at fault, to confirm:
1. switch off the compressor
2. remove drain and regulator assembly (you will be left with hole directly above membrane)
3. switch on compressor - check for airflow, if there is no airflow now (without regulator assembly), it meant that valve is gone
as in both cases (valve and regulator assembly) compressor is still under warranty, return to the point of purchase and they will either repair or replace the unit, if you desperately need to airbrush - just pump tractor or other tyre insert with "normal" compressor and then use this air to pressurise your airbrush.

hope this short info will help you solve your problem, do not forget to vote
I have come up with that it's in the piston or head because low airflow right from compressor head so sending it back to paasche because the place I bought it doesn't want to know anything but am dissapointed that I have to put more money out of my pocket to ship a compressor that is still in warranty but they won't send me a label or rein burst shipping.
i do not know law in your locality - but if you are in australia, seller is actually responcible for the repair of faulty merchandise, and seller need to send it to the manufacturer or repairer, not you... check with your consumer affair department in local governemnt - they will have best and current legislation pertaining to then matter.
