FAQs
Are these jars glass or plastic?
The Spraycraft SP5003 jars are made of durable material suitable for hobby paints and feature sturdy metal screw-on lids.
Can I use these with other airbrush brands?
While designed for the Spraycraft SP50, they are compatible with many similar dual-action airbrushes that accept standard 22cc siphon-feed jars.
How do I clean the lids?
Use a suitable airbrush cleaner or solvent appropriate for the paint used. Ensure you flush the siphon tube inside the lid.
Do the jars come with airtight seals?
Yes, the screw-on metal lids provide an airtight seal to keep paints from drying out between sessions.
What is the capacity of each jar?
Each jar holds 22cc, which is approximately 3/4oz.
Can I store paint in these jars long-term?
They are suitable for short-to-medium term storage, but always ensure the lids are tightly secured to prevent evaporation.
Troubleshooting
Airbrush not drawing paint
Ensure the airbrush is clean and the siphon tube inside the jar is not blocked by dried residue.
Paint leaking at the connection
Check that the screw-on lid is tightened correctly and that the O-ring or seal is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply pour your thinned paint into the jar and screw the metal lid on securely to ensure no leaks. When attaching to the Spraycraft SP50, ensure the connector is aligned properly before tightening to avoid cross-threading. For care, always flush your airbrush with a suitable cleaner after each use. Remove the jar and clean the lid and siphon tube thoroughly, as dried paint within the cap can prevent a proper seal. If using solvent-based paints, ensure your cleaners are compatible with the plastic or glass of the jar.
