Assembly

1. Attach one end of the air hose to the pressure source

(compressor or aerosol can) and the other to the airbrush.

2. The air pressure should lie between 1-3.5 bar. Normal

working pressure is 2 bar. We recommend using apressure

regulator with water separator in order to avoid moisture

problems. Acompressor is recommended for larger jobs.

3. Pour the paint into the paint reservoir. The paint should be

relatively thin, about half the thickness of paint used for

brushing (see Mixing colours further on in the text). Attach

the paint reservoir to corresponding hole on the airbrush.

Hold the airbrush perpendicular to the work surface.

4. Press down the trigger lever and pull back until it sprays.

Use alower air pressure when spraying close to asurface.

The closer you spray the narrower the stream. The airbrush

is pre-adjusted from the factory to provide anarrow stream.

Exercise 1

• Spraydotsonpaperorcardboard.Holdtheairbrushtip

about 12 mm from the surface (Figure 1). Use thinned ink or

water soluble paint. When you are satisﬁed with the result

make larger circles (more paint and greater distance).

• Holdingtheairbrushtoocloseandpullingthetriggerlever

all the way back will result in small blotches of paint

(Fig. 3 and 4). Work carefully and take your time.

Practice until you achieve proper circles with the desired size.

This simple exercise will improve your aim and help you

achieve the right paint thickness. This is especially important

when retouching or ﬁlling.

Exercise 2 – Freehand effects

This exercise is shown in Figure 5 and will teach you to spray

straight lines without blotches and spots.

Figure 6 shows straight, widening lines. To achieve this, increase

the paint as you pull the airbrush back away from the work surface.

Practice daily to improve your feel and precision.

Figure 7. Draw small squares with apencil. Spray dots as small as

possible on the lines. Join the dots with ﬁne, same-thickness lines.

Common problems:

Drops and blotches due to:

Spray being stopped too early or ﬁnger lever released too late.

2. Airbrush being swept along too slowly.

3. Airbrush being held too close to work surface.

Masking

Use asquare template for

the following exercises. Wrap

the template with paper and

tape it down. Do not spray

beyond the masking tape.

Exercise 3 – How to achieve an even hue

To achieve an even hue, begin with anarrow spray at the upper

left and sweep to the right. Keep adistance of 10 cm and spray

slightly beyond the masking tape to achieve asharp border.

Now spray from right to left and let the spray overlap

previous sweep. Spray the entire surface in this manner.

Exercise 4 – How to shade

This exercise is similar to the previous one. Begin from below and

enter the white surface. Do not spray more than between 2/3 to

3/4 of the surface. Hold the airbrush tip further away for each new

sweep. Keep in mind that the paint becomes thicker for each coat.

Figure 13 shows acombination of masking and shading.

Training the eye is important in order to be able to achieve

consistent shading for all the squares.

The effect in Figure 14 is achieved by using around mask and

by spraying towards and beyond the masked boundaries thus

accumulating most of the paint on the mask.

Exercise 5 – Three-dimensional effects

By practising with these basic shapes you can learn how and in

what order to shade. These shapes and their combinations cover

everything you will ever come across. In this exercise, imagine that

the light is always approaching from the upper left at a45° angle.

Make the ﬁgures about twice as large as those in the image.

Cubes

Draw acube on the paper twice the size as the one below.

Cut amask for each edge and tape it down. Now remove

the mask at the edge furthest from the light source. Shade

(as in Exercise4) from the upper left down toward the

lower right. Spray another coat as needed. Now re-mask

the ﬁnished side and do the same for the other sides until

you have achieved the desired result.

Cylinder

First, study how the light varies on the cylinder surface and

how the ﬂat surface on top contrasts with the curved surface.

Form the mask to match the curved line. Cover the top ﬁrst

and shade the cylinder. Now cover the cylinder and shade

the top. To obtain the same hue on both surfaces requires

much practise.

Cones

Begin by cutting amask in the form of acone. Start shading

from above and sweep towards the base of the cone.

Do the same for the other side of the cone until you have

achieved the three-dimensional effect shown in the ﬁgure.

Spheres

With the masking material, cut out adisc and use the material

with ahole in it as ashading mask and the disc as amask.

Now shade the work surface until the sphere appears

three-dimensionally.

Notice! Do not apply too much paint. Spray preferably athin

layer ﬁrst and let dry. Then spray another layer, and so on.

This takes time but is worth it.

English

Technique,

3-dimensional

Cover up those areas of

the work surface that you

want to preserve. The work

surface must be free from grease, dust and

dirt. Small objects are best sprayed hanging or set

on asurface that allows you to spray from all sides.

Bottles, wire and other such aids may be used. Hold the air-

brush tip about 15 cm from the work surface. Apply short sprays

and sweep the airbrush at an even speed at an even distance

from the surface. Do not apply the paint too thick.

Spray preferably athin layer ﬁrst and let dry. Then spray another

layer, and so on. This takes time but is worth it.

Mixing colours

To achieve adesired hue you must mix different colours together.

Keep in mind the paints that you mix must be of the same type,

for example mix enamel only with enamel, lacquer only with

lacquer and so forth. Mix them well and long. Filter the paint if

lumps arise.

Thinning

Most store bought paints are too thick to airbrush. Thin your

enamel paint or lacquer to a1:1 ratio. Follow the manufacturer’s

recommendations when thinning automotive lacquer.

Cleaning and care

This airbrush is aprecision instrument for professionals

and enthusiasts. Always clean the airbrush and paint

reservoirs thoroughly. Remove paint or other deposits from

the airbrush directly after use or the narrow channels will clog and

you will not be able to clear them again. Cleanliness is actually

the most important point we can make and it cannot be stressed

enough. Most functional problems arise due to insufﬁcient

cleaning of the airbrush.

After taking out the needle from the airbrush for cleaning (always

use appropriate solvent), it should be put back very carefully and

without excessive force. Spots and deposits may be removed

with asoft eraser while resting the needle on aﬂat surface.

The needle itself is delicate and should not be bent in any way

since this would render the needle worthless. Tighten the locking

screw ﬁrmly when reinserting the needle. Always protect

the needle tip.

Common problems

1. Grainy paint. This happens when the paint is too thick.

Carefully thin the paint. Make sure the needle and adjustment

screw are free from dried paint. Also check the air pressure.

2. Bubbles arise on the paper. The paint is probably too thin.

Do not spray too long over the same spot. Move the airbrush

faster or weaken the stream.

3. Blotches at the end of the sweep. Begin spraying before

beginning the sweep and end the sweep before stopping

the spray.

4. Flared ends. Caused by turning the wrist while sweeping.

Your entire arm must sweep horizontally across the paper.

5. Spidery splashes. You are spraying too much and too close.

When you want to spray ﬁne lines, pull the lever back

only slightly.

6. Splashing. This happens when the needle slides too quickly

into the nozzle. Always operate the nozzle slowly, feeling your

way forward. Make sure there is no dried paint on the needle

or nozzle.

English

Remarks from the manufacturer

An O-ring on the back of the nozzle eliminates the need to wax

the thread there. Normal wear, solvents or other damage may

eventually allow air to leak in thus resulting in apulsating stream.

Replace the packing.

7. Curved line. This happens when making the sweep with your

arm too close to the paper. Always hold your arm the same

distance from the work surface to avoid this.

8. No stream. The nozzle may be tightened too much.

Loosen 1-2 turns.

9. Bubbles in the paint reservoir. The nozzle may be open

too much. Tighten it somewhat. Another cause may be

aclogged siphon.

10. The stream will not shut off. The nozzle may be clogged.

This is evident when the needle feels spongy when moving

it forward. Clean the nozzle carefully and ﬂush it with solvent

(see Figure 2 under Cleaning and care).

11. The airbrush spits. This is caused by deposits on the needle

or in the paint reservoir. Alternatively, the paint may be

too thick.
