Setting up & using the Airbrush
• Attach the hose to the compressor.
(We recommend our AS-18A or AS-186 compressor for this model)
• Set air pressure to 2-40 PSI on the compressor.
• Remove the protection cap from the airbrush.
• Add your chosen medium to the reservoir cup.
• Press down on the trigger to allow air to flow through the brush.
• Pull the trigger backwards to start spraying.
You can vary the amount of medium flow by tightening or loosening
the adjusting screw at the rear of the airbrush.
Always test spray before starting your main project.
Mixing & Thining Medium
Generally, the most common medium used in conjunction with an
airbrush is paint. It is highly recommended that you dilute your
medium down to the same consistency as semi skimmed milk.
Read the directions on the container to see if thinners or water
should be used to dilute the medium to the correct consistency.
When mixing medium, it’s highly recommended you use the same
brand and type for best results.
Please Note:
Use the correct solvent for thinning: Use lacquer thinner for all lacquer medium,
paint thinner for all oil based medium, enamel thinners for all enamel based medium,
acrylic thinners for acrylic and clean water for water based medium.
Aways read the label of your selected medium.
