FAQs
What type of paint can I use with the EasyAir airbrush?
The EasyAir is suitable for thinned acrylic paints, inks, and lacquers. It's essential to thin your paints to a milk-like consistency for optimal performance.
How do I clean the airbrush after use?
After each session, flush the airbrush with water or cleaner until it sprays clear. Periodically, disassemble the nozzle and needle for a more thorough cleaning.
Is this airbrush suitable for fine detail work?
The 0.3mm needle/nozzle assembly is good for general hobbyist detail. For extremely fine detail, like wispy lines, you might find it less precise than airbrushes with smaller needle sizes.
What air pressure should I use?
This airbrush is compatible with most standard air compressors. A good starting point for most hobby applications is between 15-30 PSI, but refer to your paint and compressor manuals for specific recommendations.
Can I change the needle and nozzle size?
The EasyAir comes with a 0.3mm assembly. While other needle/nozzle sizes may be compatible depending on the specific design of the airbrush, this model is optimized for its included 0.3mm setup.
What does 'dual-action' mean?
Dual-action means you control both the air flow and the paint flow independently with the trigger. Pushing down controls air, and pulling back controls the amount of paint released.
How large is the paint cup?
The integrated gravity-fed cup has a capacity of 9ml.
Troubleshooting
Airbrush sputters or sprays inconsistently
Ensure the paint is adequately thinned. Check for any blockages in the needle, nozzle, or air cap. Clean the airbrush thoroughly.
No paint is coming out
Verify the trigger is being pulled back. Check that the paint cup is not overfilled and that the needle is properly seated. Ensure the paint is fluid enough.
Air leaks from the front of the airbrush
Check that the nozzle and air cap are securely tightened. Inspect the needle packing and ensure it is snug.
Difficulty pulling the trigger
The airbrush may need cleaning or lubrication. Ensure the needle is not bent and is properly aligned within the nozzle.

Compatibility:

Care:
- After Each Use: Flush the airbrush by running clean water or airbrush cleaner through it until the spray runs clear. Clean the needle and nozzle assembly using the provided instructions and appropriate cleaning tools.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically disassemble the floating nozzle, needle, and body for a thorough cleaning. Use a specialized airbrush cleaning solution if necessary.
- Storage: Store the airbrush in a clean, dry place. Ensure no paint residue remains to prevent clogs.
