What kind of paints can I use with this airbrush?
This airbrush is designed for use with acrylic and enamel paints specifically formulated for airbrushing. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
How do I clean the airbrush?
Disassemble the airbrush after each use. Clean the paint cup, nozzle, and needle with an appropriate airbrush cleaner. Use the nozzle wrench and included dropper for detailed cleaning.
What air pressure should I use?
Start with a lower air pressure (around 15-20 PSI) and adjust based on the paint consistency and the desired effect. Fine details usually require lower pressure.

How do I thin my paints?
Use a suitable airbrush thinner or flow improver. The recommended consistency is similar to milk. Always follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Airbrush isn't spraying paint.
Check if the paint cup is empty, if the paint is too thick, and if the nozzle is clogged. Clean the nozzle with the nozzle wrench and the appropriate cleaner. Thin the paint if necessary.
Paint is splattering.
Reduce air pressure, thin the paint further, or clean the nozzle and needle to remove any dried paint.
Airbrush is leaking air.
Check all connections for tightness. Ensure all parts are correctly assembled and that seals are in good condition. Tighten the nozzle and check the needle.
