How to choose an airbrush

Purpose Begin the search for a convenient and efficient airbrush with the appointment. The stores are implemented as a universal model, and highly specialized.

1. When jewelry accuracy is required when painting small objects, it is better to prefer a compact and lightweight tool with a small tank and a thin nozzle.
2. If the airbrush will also be responsible for painting extensive parts, then a universal device should be found. It should have replaceable tanks, a set of nozzles with different diameters.

Varieties. Airbrushes have many differences, which can be grouped as follows.

1. Mixing air with paint can occur inside the enclosure. Such models are used for refined work, the tool requires careful handling. When mixing occurs outside, the design looks safer and simpler. With this airbrush is convenient to apply paint on large surfaces.
2. Air and material flow adjustment in some models is carried out by one control, while in other devices two regulators are installed. For beginners, single-action airbrushes will be more convenient; professionals prefer dual-action models.

The tool is different and the location of the tank. Most often there are models with upper and lower positions. The maximum convenience in the work provide airbrushes with tanks on top. But their volume is small. If the container with paint is located below, then work becomes more difficult, but the stock of material will be more. When you have to put an artistic image on the ceiling, it is best to buy an airbrush with a lateral arrangement of the tank.

Nozzle diameter. The intensity of the spray and the shape of the torch is determined by the nozzle. The most important criterion in this replacement part is the diameter of the hole.

1. The thinnest lines allow making nozzles of 0.15-0.20 mm. But it is possible to work only with high-quality enamels.
2. Universal nozzles are considered 0.3-0.35 mm. They are intended for coloring small parts.
3. To apply a primer or varnish on a large surface area, the airbrush must be equipped with a nozzle with a diameter of 0.4-0.5 mm.

Tank volume. Manufacturers are completing airbrushes tanks, the value of which depends on the diameter of the nozzle. For example, the smallest tanks (5-7 ml) are used with nozzles of minimum diameter. The same scheme is followed by users, purchasing additional removable tanks.

Compressed air pressure Compressed air with a pressure of 1-3 atm is usually used for airbrush operation. As this indicator increases, the spray becomes thinner, but it will be more problematic to manage it. Low pressure negatively affects the quality of spray paint. Experts recommend sticking to a simple rule: the lower the viscosity of the paint, the lower the pressure should be.
