HOW TO USE:

• Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure you have adequate ventilation and a clean, well-lit area. Connect your airbrush to an air compressor using a compatible air hose.
• Prepare Your Paint: Dilute your paint to the appropriate consistency for airbrushing. Pour the prepared paint into the 7 ml gravity feed cup.
• Adjust Air Pressure: Turn on your air compressor and set the pressure to the recommended range of 20-30 psi. Start with a lower pressure and adjust as needed for your specific paint and desired effect.
• Practice Spraying: Before applying to your actual project, practice on a scrap piece of material. Press down on the trigger to release air, then pull back on the trigger to release paint. Experiment with varying how far you pull back to control paint flow and create different line widths and spray patterns.
• Apply to Project: Begin spraying your project, maintaining a consistent distance and speed for even application. Overlap your passes slightly to ensure complete coverage.
• Clean Thoroughly: After each use, especially when changing colors or finishing a session, thoroughly clean your airbrush. Empty any remaining paint, flush with water or appropriate cleaner, and then use cleaning brushes and the included nozzle spanner to clean the nozzle, needle, and paint cup. Lubricate the needle and main lever mechanism with Iwata Lube.
