intRoduction:
Paasche® models V, VV (left hand) and VJR feature hand crafted construction using quality materials. The bodies are machined brass,
polished and chrome plated. Fluid tips are made from nickel silver, needles are stainless steel, the packing washer is PTFE and the
handle is nylon. Either airbrush, preferred by professional and hobbyist alike, permits great flexibility in regulation of color and air without
work stoppage. Different size aircaps, tips and needles are quickly interchangeable to allow greater diversity in materials and coverage.
Head Sizes - Patterns - Fluid thickness
Size 1 - Tip size .010 inches or .25mm
- Used for fine detail. Pencil Line to 1'' patterns
- Paint must be thinned further than 2 head
Size 2 -Tip size .026 inches or .66mm
- Less detail than the size 1 head. 1/32'' to 1-1/2'' patterns
- Can spray slightly thicker paint than size 1 head
Working Pressures:
• Operating pressures 20-55 PSI; Maximum pressure 75 PSI
• 20-30 PSI is best for detail spraying w/ properly thinned paint
• Use the higher pressures for thicker material where fine detail is not critical or thin the paint to allow lower pressures.
Equipment Set-up:
The Airbrush is held in the same manner as a pen, with the index finger comfortably over the Trigger.
1. Attach airhose to air supply and to airbrush. If regulator set pressure between 20 -30 PSI.
2. For V or VV attach the color cup or bottle assembly to color socket.
3. Remove Head Protecting Cap #1, page 2.
Airbrush operation:
1. Press down on Trigger to release air and pull back on Trigger to control quantity of color.
2. To spray a fine line without heavy ends, start moving the airbrush without release of color. Then start the color at the beginning of line
and stop the color at the end, but continue the motion of the airbrush after the color has stopped.
3. Practice this movement until you can spray a fine line or a broad pattern without heavy build up at the beginning or end of your strokes.
4. Speed of movement controls density of color and fading effects at beginning and end of strokes.
5. For detail, hold the airbrush very close to the surface push down for air and pull back very slowly on the Trigger to release a small
amount of paint.
6. For background work and broad effects, hold the airbrush away from the work surface and pull back on Trigger to release required
amount of color.
7. For Stippling remove the aircap, push down on the Trigger and pump the Trigger forward and back. Adjust the air pressure between
15 and 50 PSI for desired stipple effect.
