Getting Set Up
Make sure that you securely connect one end of an air hose to the air inlet of the airbrush and the other end of the
hose to compressor. Remember to always wear a dust mask or respirator for solvent based paint, while airbrushing.
Holding and Triggering a Dual-Action Airbrush
Hold the airbrush like you would hold a pen with your index finger on the trigger for control. For a dual-action airbrush
press down on the trigger for air flow and while the trigger is pushed down pull back on it to release paint flow.
Fundamental Airbrushing Techniques for Best Results
When using your airbrush, spraying distance, application speed, airbrush angle and air pressure are the key
principles to consistently achieving the best airbrush spraying results. To get comfortable using the airbrush,
practice spraying with it at different distances and spray angles, while also adjusting your speed of application and
air pressure. (For airbrushing practice exercises and detailed step by step airbrush tips, tricks and video guides visit

Dual-Action
Siphon Feed
Dual-action airbrushes are the most widely used style of airbrush,
as they allow the user to have superior control of the air flow, fluid
flow and spray pattern. The three main dual-action airbrush types
are Gravity Feed, Siphon Feed and Side Feed.
DUAL-ACTION refers to the triggering method of activating the
airbrush, as pressing down on the trigger releases the air flow and
drawing back on the trigger releases the paint flow. Since a dual-
action airbrush combines the two separate motions of the trigger
into a single control, it makes it much easier for the user to achieve
consistent fine detail line spraying results.
A. Quick Flush Cutaway Handle
The cutaway handle allows you to pull the needle chucking nut
back to quickly flush and clean air passages within the airbrush.
B. Preset Knob Handle
The handles preset fluid control knob allows you to set the
limit on the travel distance of the airbrush trigger. This enables
complete control of paint flow, so you can spray consistent
repeatable lines.
B.
C. Micro Airflow Adjustment Control Valve
A specialized air control valve at the head of the airbrush that can
be adjusted to lower the air flow (psi), which enables accurate
micro fine spray control.
