Cleaning and Lubrication
Using Airbrush Cleaner, submerge all parts, except the needle, in a
glass or metal pan for a few minutes then scrub with a small paint brush until all
color has been removed. Clean especially the color cup (4). Make sure you have a good liquid flow out of where the nozzle connects. Use a Q-tip to scrub the
walls and to reach into the color cup. Rinse the parts with hot water and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Clean the needle with airbrush cleaner and check
the point to make sure this is no damage. Look at the point of the needle for a bend
or hook. Using a white piece of paper and placing the needle on it and rolling it will
make it easier to see if damage exists and needs to be replaced.
