ASSEMBLY
Fine-Line Spray
1. Depress the main lever to start air flow.
2. Position the airbrush close to the surface, between 1/16 and 1/2 inch is
common.
3. Pull the main lever back slightly to start the flow of paint.
Line thickness can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the
airbrush and the surface and also by varying the paint flow by manipulating
the main lever’s position.
Wide-Line and Background Spraying
1. Depress the main lever.
2. Position the airbrush further away from the surface, from 1 to 6 inches is
common.
3. Pull the main lever back much farther releasing more paint to cover the
bigger area.
Increase the distance between the airbrush and painted surface to control the
line’s width. Increasing the air pressure will also affect the spray width.
Air Pressure
For the NEO, working pressures generally vary between 10 and 60 psi, de-
pending on what type of work is being done and what textures are desired.
A good working
pressure may average around 15-25 psi. The viscosity of the paint and
your desired spray characteristics will also affect your ideal pressure. As a
general rule, larger amounts of paint or thicker paints, will be sprayed with
higher pressures.
WARNING: Do not exceed 100psi.
Paint Preparation
For non-airbrush-ready paints, proper preparation, including filtering
the paint through a nylon mesh, is recommended for best performance.
Paint should be thinned with its proper solvent. It is best to prepare paint
relatively thin and make repeated passes across the work to achieve the
desired shade. This will also improve the
quality of your work and decrease the cleaning time of your airbrush.
Safety Tips
• Always spray in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not spray solvent-based (flammable) paints around open flames.
• Use the appropriate respirator to safely filter out the paint vapors par-
ticular
to the kind of paint you are using.
• Wear eye protection to prevent paint contact with eyes.
• Never use air pressure that exceeds the airbrush’s limit (100 psi).
