4.5  Airbrush Trigger Operation

In a double action pistol style trigger airbrush, the trigger controls 

both

  the  air  flow  through  the  airbrush  and  the  paint  volume 

sprayed. Pulling the trigger back to the halfway point opens the air 

valve at the bottom of the airbrush and allows air to flow through.  

Further  pulling back on the trigger pulls the fluid needle back away 

from the fluid nozzle allowing paint to be sprayed. As the trigger 

continues  to  be  pulled  back,  the  nozzle  opening  becomes  larger 

which  allows  more  paint  to  be  sprayed  to  create  a  wider  spray 

pattern.

4.6  Spray Pattern Adjustments

Paint sprayed from an airbrush exits from the nozzle in the form of 

a cone. As the needle of the airbrush is pulled back away from the 

nozzle, the nozzle opening is increased allowing more paint to be 

sprayed resulting in a wider cone. Depending on where the work 

surface intersects this cone, a different spray width is achieved. So, 

line widths produced by the airbrush are controlled by a combina-

tion  of  adjusting  the  distance  the  airbrush  is  held  from  the  work 

surface and adjusting the amount of paint allowed to spray.
