HOW A DOUBLE ACTION AIRBRUSH WORKS


by Don Johnson

Sponsored by Airbrush Technique Magazine

In a nut shell a double action airbrush works as described below.



Pictured above Cody is gentle pushing down on the trigger of the airbrush. At this point you should only have only air coming out of your airbrush. Get in the habit now of always leaving the air on while airbrushing, even between strokes or applying paint.





Pictured above you can see Cody is not only pushing down on the trigger but has also pulled the trigger back, at this point you should have not only air but paint coming out of your airbrush.

With a double action airbrush the further you pull the trigger back the more paint you will apply. So the amount of paint you spray with a double action airbrush is regulated by how far you pull the trigger back, the further back the trigger travels the more paint will be applied.

The amount of air or PSI as it's often referred to should be regulated at your compressor not the airbrush trigger; you always want your index finger to depress the trigger fully downward.

Summary: With a double action airbrush pushing down on trigger gives you air, pulling back on the trigger gives you paint, do both you get both air and paint. While airbrushing always leave the air on (trigger fully depressed);  air always on.
