Master AIRBRUSH User manual

Geng Set Up
Make sure that you securely connect one end of an air hose to the air inlet of the airbrush and the other end of the
hose to compressor. Remember to always wear a dust mask or respirator for solvent based paint, while airbrushing.
Holding and Triggering a Dual-Acon Airbrush
Hold the airbrush like you would hold a pen with your index nger on the trigger for control. For a dual-acon airbrush
press down on the trigger for air ow and while the trigger is pushed down pull back on it to release paint ow.
Fundamental Airbrushing Techniques for Best Results
When using your airbrush, spraying distance, applicaon speed, airbrush angle and air pressure are the key
principles to consistently achieving the best airbrush spraying results. To get comfortable using the airbrush,
pracce spraying with it at dierent distances and spray angles, while also adjusng your speed of applicaon and
air pressure. (For airbrushing pracce exercises and detailed step by step airbrush ps, tricks and video guides visit

Dual-acon airbrushes are the most widely used style of airbrush,
as they allow the user to have superior control of the air ow, uid
ow and spray paern. The three main dual-acon airbrush types
are Gravity Feed, Siphon Feed and Side Feed.
DUAL-ACTION refers to the triggering method of acvang the
airbrush, as pressing down on the trigger releases the air ow and
drawing back on the trigger releases the paint ow. Since a dual-
acon airbrush combines the two separate moons of the trigger
into a single control, it makes it much easier for the user to achieve
consistent ne detail line spraying results.

Cleaning the Airbrush
Before cleaning the airbrush always empty the excess paint rst, and always clean the airbrush between color changes
and at the end of each painng session. Adding a new color to the airbrush without cleaning it will lead to color
contaminaon from the previous color. To prevent the airbrush from geng clogged, never allow paint to dry inside of
the airbrush. Rell the airbrush cup or bole using the appropriate cleaning soluon for the type of paint medium that
was used in the airbrush. Warm water works for most water-based mediums. Flush out the airbrush by back ushing
(plugging the p of the brush while pulling the trigger back) and spray out unl airbrush sprays clear.

Fixed Dual-Acon Pistol Trigger Airbrush Single-Acon Airbrush Single-Acon External Mix Airbrush
To operate the xed dual-acon design
feature on a pistol trigger airbrush pull
slightly back on the trigger to release the
air ow only, then as the trigger is pulled
back further paint ow will be released.
The pistol trigger gives you the feel of
a spray gun trigger, while providing you
the accurate spray control of an airbrush.
Single-acon airbrushes are easy to
operate, as a simple push down on
the trigger acvates both the air ow
and paint ow. This one step triggering
makes single-acon airbrushes ideal for
beginners, although they do not provide
as much spray control as dual-acon
airbrushes.
An external mix airbrush is called that
because the air and paint mix in front
of the needle. How much paint spray
comes out is controlled through a knob
located near the p of the airbrush. A
single-acon only requires a simple push
down on the trigger to acvate both the
air ow and paint ow.
