Airbrushes

Airbrush

The airbrush is small in size and is generally available in single action external mix type airbrush where the air leaves the airbrush before it comes into contact with the paint which are best suited for covering larger areas with more viscous paints or the double action airbrush which separates the function for air and paint flow with this internal mix airbrush the paint and air mix inside the tip of the airbrush creating a finer atomized state of paint. The user can control the volume of airflow and the concentration of paintflow through two independent mechanisms. This gives the user greater control and more flexibility with various artistic and desired effects. This advanced version compared with the single action airbrush is more complicated and tends to command a higher price. Airbrushes are operated via compressed air through an airhose with the air source being a compressor or a can of compressed air. The airbrush is capable of spraying various media including ink and dye but mostly used for spraying specialized airbrush paint.

 

Airbrush Feed Systems

Gravity feed or suction feed, Gravity feed generally means a small cup reservoir on top or side mounted, paint is fed by gravity and requires less air pressure than suction type. Fine detail is best achieved and suited for this type of airbrush.

Suction feed, this airbrush typically holds a larger capacity of paint and is more suited for larger areas, called a bottom feed or side feed usually the paint is held in a glass jar.

Airbrush Cleaning

To achieve optimum results always make sure your airbrush is always cleaned after use. If using water based paints flush through via spraying with warm water  or an airbrush cleaning solution to expel any remaining paint in the system. Then continue to use air alone to dry the system. When using solvent based paints then the appropriate solvent thinner is used in the same way. To aid the cleaning process hold a piece of lint free cloth tight over the airbrush nozzle cap and spray into the cloth this will force back and circulate through the system achieving removal of residue of paint. After prolonged use or poor cleaning it may be prudent to strip the airbrush and soak parts that are showing signs of stubborn dried paint in the appropriate cleaning solution, airbrush needle, nozzle and nozzle cap being the most common airbrush parts requiring attention.
