What is the difference between gravity feed and siphon feed airbrushes?

Gravity feed airbrushes have a paint cup on top, allowing gravity to pull the paint into the airbrush. Siphon feed airbrushes draw paint from a bottle or jar below the airbrush using suction. Gravity feed models require less air pressure and are better for detailed work, while siphon feed models can hold more paint, making them suitable for larger projects.

Can gravity feed airbrushes be used for all types of paint?

Yes, gravity feed airbrushes can be used with various types of paints, including acrylics, enamels, inks, and more. It’s important to thin the paint according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure smooth application and prevent clogging.

Are gravity feed airbrushes good for beginners?

Yes, gravity feed airbrushes are a great choice for beginners due to their ease of use, precision, and efficient paint usage. Many models, such as the Iwata Eclipse HP-CS and Badger Patriot 105, are designed to be user-friendly while offering professional-quality results.

How do I clean a gravity feed airbrush?

To clean a gravity feed airbrush, flush it with a suitable cleaner after each use to remove any residual paint. Disassemble the needle and nozzle periodically for a thorough cleaning. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling to prevent rust and damage.

What air pressure should I use with a gravity feed airbrush?

The ideal air pressure for a gravity feed airbrush varies depending on the type of paint and the desired effect. Generally, a pressure range of 15-30 PSI is recommended. Lower pressures are suitable for fine details, while higher pressures can be used for broader coverage and thicker paints.
