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, depending on
what type of work is being done and what textures are desired. A good working pres-
sure may average around 8-20 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. 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.
• Use the appropriate respirator to safely filter out the paint vapors particular 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).
