Pg.3 ExaminingYour Airbrush Parts

Looks intimidating, doesn't it!.. No, you don't have to be a Mechanical Engineer to understand what your looking at. Lets try an Other Example...



A little easier to look at.These are the internal parts to your Airbrush. We saw how airbrushes can differ in price and model. Your Airbrush will also be different inside depending on the brand you choose,but for the most part all airbrushes are similar.



Watch this video and I will try to explain what the parts names are. Its really not important to know the name of each part, as long as you know where it belongs. It might be important if your ordering a part over the phone or Internet, but if you go to a supply store, just take the part with you and make sure you give the correct Model name and number.
