Airbrush needle 0,5mm

Amazing Art 0.5 mm airbrush needle

A replacement needle of 0.5 mm diameter for an Amazing Art airbrush. The needle together with the nozzle forms the heart of an airbrush: it regulates the flow of paint and directly affects the quality of the spray. The 0.5 mm diameter is intended for a more generous spray of larger areas and of thicker paints. The needle is long and thin, so its tip is prone to bending; even a slightly crooked tip then causes spitting, spray to the sides or a broken pattern. There is therefore no point in repairing a bent or blunt needle: replacement is the more reliable course.

Use

• replacing a bent, blunt or broken needle
• a 0.5 mm diameter, for areas and a more generous spray
• the needle should be of the same diameter as the nozzle, otherwise the spray does not work properly
• insert the needle carefully through the nozzle, as a bent tip ruins the spray
• after every spraying session clean the needle and lightly oil it with airbrush oil
• when cleaning, pull the needle out toward the rear so as not to force paint into the nozzle

What to watch out for

The needle and the nozzle form a pair and must be of the same diameter; otherwise the airbrush does not spray properly. The length and the shape of the needle differ between models, so check before buying that the part matches your airbrush. This is a spare part on its own, not a whole airbrush.

Who it is for

For owners of Amazing Art airbrushes who need a replacement needle or one in reserve. Before buying, check that the diameter and the length of the needle match your airbrush and its nozzle.

A long and very sharp part: handle it carefully and keep out of the reach of children.
