3 ml Ultra Mirror-Level Gravity Fluid Airbrush Cup

3 ml paint cup for a gravity-feed airbrush (Gaahleri)

A spare cup with a volume of three milliliters for gravity-feed airbrushes, that is for tools in which the paint runs down into the nozzle under its own weight. The manufacturer emphasizes its smoothly finished inner surface, on which paint does not cling and which is easy to wipe out.

Why a smooth interior matters

A cup with a rough surface holds remains of paint in every irregularity, so with the next shade a foreign color turns up in the spray. A transition between light shades is then practically impossible without taking the tool completely apart. A smooth interior is wiped out with one stroke of a cotton swab and the paint runs out of it by itself. With a small volume of three milliliters this holds doubly true, because the shades are changed often.

Use and maintenance

• The volume of three milliliters suits detail work and frequent changes of shade
• Wipe the cup out after every shade, before the paint dries
• For cleaning use a cleaner intended for the paint in question, not a coarse tool
• Tighten the thread without force, overtightening will damage the seal
• The cup is tied to a particular line of the tool, and need not fit another brand

Who the part is for

• Owners of an airbrush of the same line
• Modelers who change shades often
• Figure painters working with a small amount of paint
• Anyone whose cup has been damaged or lost
• Anyone interested in a second cup for a quick change of shade

The cup is supplied on its own; the other parts of the tool are not included in the package.
