4. Always test on a practice piece first to ensure the airbrush is working
correctly.
SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
Practice spraying on a piece of material with the same type of surface as the
article you wish to spray, eg. metal for a car body panel, wood for a piece of
furniture etc.
Always make adjustments to the spray pattern according to the conditions.
You may need to increase the paint and air flow when using a wider fan
setting.
To reduce overspray, always use the lowest possible air pressure that produces
an acceptable spray pattern.
• If the airbrush is too far from the surface or the paint is too thin, the
paint will start to dry before hitting the surface, resulting in a rough,
sandy finish. Allowing overspray to fall on a finished area will also
result in a rough finish. Too much paint feed or holding the airbrush
too close to the work can lead to runs and sagging.
• The paint should be agitated by gentle shaking at regular intervals
during use to ensure consistency and avoid colour difference due to
the paint settling in the container.
