As we expand further into the gaming and model painting markets, we’re looking to build relationships with creators who love sharing their craft and believe in authentic messaging.
For now, we just want you to play around with your new airbrush in your natural environment. See how it fits with your process and painting style. If you feel it's a good fit, we'd love to see where this can go!
If you have questions along the way, or opportunities you want to explore now, feel free to reach out to [email protected].

Let's take a look at "The Big 3" key factors that effect your spray: Viscosity, Pressure, and Distance. These three factors all work together.
For DETAIL: Spray thin paints at low air pressures and spray close to the surface.
For COVERAGE: Spray thick paints at higher air pressures and spray further from the surface.
And there's a whole range of spray in between! Just consider when changing one of these factors, the others may need adjusting as well.
From feed styles, parts breakdowns and go-to terms, we'll walk you through the fundamentals of your new airbrush.
Here are some quick tips on getting setup depending on what equipment you have.
