Recommended Pressure Settings for Airbrushing

Our compressor has 2 air outlets, each of which has its own pressure gauge. The output pressure can be adjusted by turning the blue "on/off" knob next to the pressure gauge.

The required pressure setting depends on a number of factors such as

type of paint (thicker paints require higher pressures, for example our "Aero Pearl" and "Aero Shine" effect colors)
airbrush needle diameter
gravity feed (paint compartment at the top, for example our Iwata Neo airbrush)
syphon feed (paint bottle below the airbrush, for example our black Bader Ideal 350 airbrush)

Apart from the above, the "ideal" pressure setting also depends on personal preference. As a rule of thumb, start with low pressure and slowly go higher. For our Iwata Neo (a double action, gravity feed airbrush), start with 15-20 psi. The pressure should be high enough to create a good atomised misty spray from your airbrush, but also low enough to allow for control of the trigger.

A higher pressure setting atomises the paint better, but this also results in faster drying time.

Specifications

outlet thread: 1/8" BSP
tank capacity: 3 liters
working pressure: 0.2 - 4 bar (3-58 psi)
engine power: 150 watts (1/6 HP)
number of cylinders: 1
voltage: 220 - 240 V
noise level: approx. 50 dB (A)
net air yield: 23 L/minute
weight: 8.6 kg

Both outlets have their own pressure regulator and pressure gauge.

Built-in moisture separator in the tank.

Thermal safety and overpressure protection above 6 bar.

Oil-free compressor.

How to Connect an Airbrush to the Compressor

To connect the compressor hose to an airbrush, please use the adaptor piece. The compressor will keep its pressure even if no airbrush is connected.
