ChroMax BD-130E Airbrush (0.3mm Nozzle)

Professional all-metal Airbrush with double-action trigger, classic nozzle and gravity filling. The specialty of this gun is a large funnel with a lid. Suitable for versatile use in modeling (model painting), in artistic work (American retouching - painting pictures), suitable for nail studios (nail decoration), suitable for temporary tattoos (body painting) and for food work (painting cakes and pies with food colors).

Funnel volume: 7 ml
Working pressure: 15 - 50 PSI

Paint dilution: The paint should be very thin, only then can it be sprayed. It is necessary to try the dilution and spraying before starting work. The dilution ratio also affects the adhesion of the paint and its covering ability. Different brands and types of paint require different dilutions.
Air source - compressor: The working pressure of spray guns ranges between 0.8 - 2.7 bar, depending on the type of gun and the work. The compressor must have a continuous pressure regulation and a separation filter to capture dirt and water vapor. Some airbrush compressors have a pressure vessel (air tank), which serves to ensure the most even air pressure at the outlet.
Airbrush operation
Try spraying on a piece of paper or a practice object. Make sure that the hose connecting the compressor and the gun is well sealed. Fill the container with paint. At the beginning of spraying, first set the gun to a fine stream of paint and start spraying about 15cm from the surface. Hold the gun at a right angle to the surface. While spraying, make a smooth movement of your hand from side to side, never stand with the gun in one place. Guide the gun evenly along the surface and cover a continuous strip. If you move closer to the surface, the painted area will be smaller and the paint will be more concentrated. If you move the gun further away, the painted area will be larger and the paint will be less concentrated. After you gain practice, you can try spraying fine lines. Hold the gun just above the surface and carefully control the amount of paint. In this spraying mode, the tip of the needle protrudes from the spray head. Be very careful not to catch it on the surface. The tip of the needle is sensitive and could bend.
Cleaning and maintenance: To keep your gun working well for a long time, you must always clean it thoroughly, but very carefully. Two principles for a well-functioning Airbrush are cleaning and general care. When working with several shades of paint, it is not always necessary to clean the gun completely. Usually, it is enough to flush it with a small amount of thinner and continue working immediately. A thorough cleaning is only necessary after the entire job is completed.
Regular cleaning:
-Fill the gun container with a special liquid cleaner. Water is not effective in this case, even if you have worked with water-thinned paints. Unlike regular thinner, the Airbrush Cleaner will also dissolve dried paint residues inside the gun. Use a brush or a brush to clean all surfaces inside the gun. Then pour out the cleaner along with the paint residues.
-Fill the container again with cleaner and spray it into the collection container (it can be reused). You can also carefully (be careful of the needle tip) block the spray head with your finger for a while so that bubbles begin to form in the gun container. This will clean the channels in the gun better. Repeat the procedure until the gun is completely clean.
Thorough cleaning:
-Unscrew the back of the gun body, unscrew the needle lock nut. Carefully pull out the needle. If there is paint residue on it and the needle does not come out easily, carefully grip it with pliers and slowly pull it out with a twisting motion. Clean the needle carefully, with a soft cloth. Pay close attention to the needle tip. If you manage to bend the needle tip, press it on a flat surface (glass) and roll it a few times with the tip of your finger.
-After pulling out the needle, unscrew the spray head parts and clean them of paint residue on the inner surfaces.
-Cleaning the nozzle is just as delicate an operation as cleaning the needle. You can usually clean the screw-on nozzle without removing it from the gun. The nozzle in a new gun is sealed on the thread with wax from the factory and unscrewing it will break the seal and there is a risk of damaging the nozzle. Sometimes it is advisable to carefully heat the nozzle to loosen the wax. If you want to replace the nozzle with another one, you should be extremely careful when unscrewing the nozzle. In newer types of guns, the nozzle is sealed with a rubber seal, which makes unscrewing easier. You can easily release the VEGA type nozzle from the bed by pressing your finger on the side of the nozzle. Then clean the nozzle bed as well.
Note: Each nozzle is subject to wear depending on the type of paint used. Paint is an abrasive and the nozzle will wear out sooner or later with use.
- Cleaning the trigger mechanism and the rear part of the gun is necessary if it is heavily soiled. During normal operation, it is enough to completely disassemble the gun only once in a while, when you feel that the overall operation of the gun has deteriorated.
-To assemble the airbrush, proceed in reverse order. First assemble the spray head (tighten the threads carefully with your fingers so as not to tear them!), then continue with the trigger and needle bed assembly. Then insert the needle and gently push it in with your finger until it stops. As soon as you feel resistance, stop pushing on the needle and tighten the lock nut. Be very careful when pushing the needle in so as not to tear the nozzle!
-Rubber seals may change size when in contact with cleaner. However, after cleaning, they will regain their original shape in about 15 minutes.
-If you will not be using the gun for a long time, you can preserve it with a fine oil.

The product warranty is 24 months from the date of sale. It does not apply to operational wear of the product and damage caused by improper handling, incorrect use, or neglected maintenance.

Piston Air Compressor AS-18-2

Oil-free piston airbrush compressor. Fully compatible with Fengda, Royalmax, Chromax, Sparmax, Badger, Revell and many more spray guns.

This oil-free piston compressor (Airbrush Compressor) is an excellent alternative to repeatedly buying cans of compressed gas for your airbrush airbrush. AS18-2 works with the so-called air on demand system, which means that once it reaches the output pressure, it automatically shuts off. Restart only when you start working with the airbrush gun and the pressure drops.

Compact, portable and quiet, it provides an oil-free air supply that is ideal for designers, modelers, artists, decorators for cake and nail design, or even body painting.

• Ultra quiet - can be used discreetly in the home
• Maintenance-free piston design with lightweight aluminum construction
• Built-in handle - easy to transport
• Adjustable pressure

Safety
1. Do not use the compressor for any purpose other than that for which it was designed and manufactured.
2. Do not modify or repair the compressor while it is plugged into the power supply.
3. This is an electrical device that can cause injury or death if used incorrectly and if the structure is tampered with. Warning: Any unauthorized tampering with the structure and electrical installation of the compressor can cause injury or death, or damage to property. It also voids the warranty for this product. The warranty is also limited by improper use of this device. Children may only use it under adult supervision. It is not intended for use in a humid environment, and do not turn it on in an environment with concentrated flammable vapors, as this may cause a fire. Excessive overloading and operation in an unsuitable environment can damage or destroy the compressor. It is intended mainly for indoor and clean environments.
4. The compressor has an automatic pressure safety device. If it is switched on and the air is not being drawn by the airbrush, the compressor will switch off automatically when the set pressure is reached. When the trigger on the airbrush is pressed, the compressor will switch on again automatically.

Usage
1. Place the compressor on a flat surface of appropriate size in a dry, well-ventilated room where the air temperature does not exceed 350C.
2. Connect the hose to the compressor outlet using a screw fitting. To improve the tightness of the connection, you can use Teflon tape to seal the thread. Then connect the power cord to the 220 V / 50 Hz mains and turn on the 0/I switch.
3. If the compressor heats up above the safe limit during prolonged operation, it will automatically switch off using a thermal fuse. After cooling down for approximately 20 minutes, it will start up again automatically.
4. The air pressure at the outlet of the compressor into the hose can be adjusted using the black plastic adjustment screw on the control valve. After unlocking it by pulling it up, the screw can be turned to the right and left, thus changing the output pressure. After setting the required pressure, the screw is locked by pushing it down.

Compressor maintenance
1. Clean the compressor after each use to remove any dirt on the surface.
2. In intensive use, blow the water that condenses in the separator filter out through the ventilation screw at the bottom of the filter container once a week. Depending on the version of the separator filter, the condensate is drained by pushing or turning the valve at the bottom of the glass container. This opens the ventilation slot. The compressor must be running during this operation.
3. If used intensively, clean the disassembled separation filter once every three months by blowing through the compressor

Good advice:
When adjusting the air pressure on the regulator, it is necessary to be aware of which reading the pressure gauge shows. The air pressure is correctly adjusted by holding the trigger on the airbrush. This way you set the actual working air pressure. If you have the trigger on the gun released, the pressure gauge will show the air pressure in the hose, which is higher, because the hose is acting as a pressure vessel at that moment. Therefore, when the trigger on the gun is pressed, the pressure gauge will immediately show a drop in pressure.

Good advice:
If you are working in the summer (higher humidity) in a cool room with a cold floor, place the compressor on a table and make sure that the hose is not placed on the ground. In a special combination of higher humidity of warm air even more heated by passing through the compressor, water can condense in the hose lying on the cold floor and, despite the separation filter, this water can get into the airbrush and make work very unpleasant. These are unique cases, but we know them from our own experience.
