Single- vs. Double-Action Comparison
-
Operation:
-
Single-action: press trigger = air only; paint flow preset
-
Double-action: press = air, pull back = paint flow
-
-
Learning curve:
-
Single-action: minimal practice for consistent fills
-
Double-action: steeper, but grants precise fade and blending
-
-
Best for:
-
Single-action: base coats, patterns, stencils
-
Double-action: fine gradients, detail work
-
Pro Tips
-
Thin paints to a milk-like consistency for the 0.45 mm tip; thicker blends suit the 1.05 mm head.
-
Use 25–30 PSI for most hobby paints; bump to 40–50 PSI for fast coverage on larger areas.
-
To minimize splatter, keep your airbrush 6–8 inches from the work surface.
-
When switching media (e.g., from lacquer to acrylic), perform a full solvent flush, then water rinse.
