• Allow colour to dry until there is no shine and don’t be tempted to touch
the sprayed area as this will smudge the sprayed area.
• Always clean the air brush gun after each use to ensure paints do not dry.

The air brush gun is a precision instrument and to work effectively, careful
maintenance is essential.
It’s important to clean the air brush gun as soon as you have finished
spraying as some paints used with the equipment will dry very quickly. It is
also recommended to clean the air brush gun in-between use of different
colours which can be done with water or solvents.
1. Remove all remaining paint from the glass jar/
metal cup (12/14) by depressing the air brush
trigger (23) and expelling the remaining paint
into an old cloth or strong paper towel (Fig U).
NOTE: DO NOT empty down the sink – it’s
important to use a cloth or paper towel to
absorb the colour.
2. Following the safety instructions applicable
to the chosen cleaning solvent, and wearing
the appropriate personal protective clothing according to the cleaning
solvent, half fill the air brush glass jar/ metal cup (12/14) with the cleaning
solvent.
NOTE: Using a cleaning solvent OR water is dependent upon the type of
paint you are using. Refer to the chart above.
