FAQs
What type of paint can I use with this airbrush?
This airbrush is compatible with most acrylic paints designed for airbrushing. Always check the paint manufacturer's recommendations for thinning and use.
How do I clean the airbrush?
Disassemble the airbrush, clean all parts with appropriate solvents for your paint type, and use the included cleaning tools.

A standard air compressor with a 1/8 air hose connection will work. Consider one with an air regulator for precise pressure control.
