4. Operating Instructions
Operating your airbrush kit involves a few key steps to achieve optimal results:
- Pour in the Paint: Open the paint cup on top of the airbrush gun and carefully pour in your desired paint. Ensure the paint is properly thinned to a milk-like consistency for smooth flow.
- Turn on and Adjust Pressure: Flip the power switch on the compressor to turn it on. Use the stepless pressure adjustment knob to fine-tune the airflow from 2 to 40 PSI, depending on your project's needs.
- Dual-Action Operation: The airbrush gun features a dual-action trigger. Press the trigger down for air, and pull it back for paint. This allows for precise control over both air volume and paint flow. The screw at the tail of the airbrush gun can be rotated to further control the spray range.
- Nozzle Selection: Choose the appropriate nozzle size for your task:
- 0.2mm: Suitable for fine details and intricate work.
- 0.3mm: Ideal for general purpose and model painting.
- 0.5mm: Best for larger areas and broader coverage.
- Auto Start/Stop Function: The compressor will only run continuously when you hold down the spray gun trigger for painting. If the compressor stops automatically, simply restart the spraying operation to activate it again.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your airbrush kit. Always clean thoroughly after each use to prevent nozzle clogging.
- Initial Rinse: After spraying paint, empty any remaining paint from the cup. Add a small amount of appropriate cleaning solution (or water for water-based paints) to the cup. Spray it through the airbrush until the spray runs clear.
- Disassembly: Carefully disassemble the airbrush gun, including the nozzle, needle, and paint cup. Refer to the diagram in the included manual for detailed disassembly steps.
- Thorough Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning brushes and needles to clean all paint residue from the paint cup, nozzle, needle, and airbrush body. Pay special attention to the fine tip of the nozzle and needle.
- Reassembly: Once all parts are clean and dry, reassemble the airbrush gun. Ensure all components are correctly seated and tightened.
Attention:
- Avoid using this product for food-related purposes if it has been used for chemical spraying.
- Before each use, test the gun by spraying pure water. If it sprays correctly, the gun is clear and ready for paint. If not, it indicates residual blockage from incomplete cleaning, and a complete teardown and cleaning is required.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your airbrush kit, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- No Spray or Weak Spray:
- Check if the air hose is securely connected and the compressor is on.
- Ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Disassemble and clean thoroughly.
- Verify the paint is properly thinned. Thick paint can cause blockages.
- Check the air pressure setting on the compressor. Increase if too low.
- Inconsistent Spray Pattern:
- Clean the nozzle and needle for any partial blockages.
- Ensure the needle is seated correctly and not bent.
- Check for air leaks in connections.
- Paint Bubbling in Cup:
- This often indicates a clogged nozzle or a loose nozzle cap. Clean or tighten as needed.
- Check for damage to the nozzle or needle.
