Nice teaching method! I hope your student stays with you for years to come. I had a very condescending teacher, and never felt good leaving my airbrush lessons., many years ago. I nearly quit. So keep up the good work!
40 yrs with Paasche VL! never been stumped on any project from tee shirts to giant outdoor wall murals! love it! know yer brush,know yer paint! thats the secret!
My god you people are all a bunch of art critics huh? If you don't have any constructive criticism just shut the hell up. This guy put up a video showing the workings of an air brush and I for one am grateful he did. So thanks for the video man. It helped me figure out why my brush wasn't spraying. That bottle you use to clean your brush... where did you get that?
Thank you Kevin, you just echoed my sentiments after watching the video and reading the usual negative nattering. Thank you for taking the trouble to post this, Mr Leach!
My first Paasche VL lasted more than 10 yrs. with much abuse from me. I finally bought a new VL and kept the old one as a backup. Great air brush for spraying leather dye, acrylics, inks etc. I love it.
One note on the tips. SharpenAir makes a Paasche specific needle polisher & tip straightener. Yeah, it's $45, but can keep you from getting shutdown in the middle of a project until you get a new needle. And using it will also extend the life of your needles.
Great, -- When I used an airbrush first time, was in 1967 where we were a group of mainly painters who had a lazy winters job producing glasfiber fish that was painted foto realistic and put in glas locker boxes, for educational use. We specialised in our set of "danish saltwater fish" for schools.
I needed to watch this video. I'm about to touch up some minor chip marks on my car with an airbrush but I'm reluctant. Thank you so much for covering so many topics. I'll practice a bit first but an airbrush has to provide better results opposed to a brush or toothpick.
Frank and Barbara, the compressor is probably hidden to make recording the video. Check out the Paasche D500SR. At 47 db, it is very quiet, like a low hum.
This is could be useful. Can't control paint flow straight out of the box. Blast of paint thru without pulling back. Same flow when using the lever? Strange. Going to strip it down painting Decoys and its pissing me off. Thanks though, former taxidermist.
12 minutes of my time wasted. Your camera is zoomed out way too far to get your point across on any other details you're talking about. The video is more frustrating than helpful
He's using the adjustment wheel to set his needle for the dot size. This basically puts the airbrush in single action mode. It's probably the reason for the lack of uniformity in dot size. We all do things differently. I prefer to use the trigger. Practice, learn good trigger control, forget you have an adjustment wheel. Your art will look better. Just my $.02 worth
Camera person was told to "pull back to a wide shot" so we couldn't see the "spots" you made. The ones I could see you making are all "wonky" and not "round?" Shows you should not charge for your "work!" I am so tired of people claiming to be a "professional" and put up a "crap work" video like this and give "excuses" for the "crap work" like it doesn't matter! Why should I listen to someone who says they've been doing this for a long time that can't make a series of simple "spots?" O.o

Hi There,
Hey why can’t I hear your compressor, is it a silent one, if so may please know what kind it is?
same question for me, I guess no one monitors this???
Which is the right psi for using this airbrush? Thanks

We sell air brush tips on our website: rmi-online.com/supplies/paints/airbrushes-and-parts?p=4#page=4
What paint do you use ?
I've tried several double action airbrushes over the years, and never really liked them as much as my trusty Paasche H type single action.
Do you have a tutorial for cleaning the airbrush Passche
im about to paint road wheels for a model tank. what air pressure and needle should I use.
You needed more closeups regarding assembly/disassembly. thx.
I strip mine down and take it all apart to clean it every time I use it. Didn't know that was bad form.
Thanks Guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works pretty much the same way a crop dusting airplane does while flying over crops...so if you don't know how to fly....

This is like watching a cooking show except it never gets really "cooking"!
My surname is Paasche :p
LOL :-)
I threw my VL away. Another one has come my way. I'll probably toss it in the trash too.
I really think the guy demonstrating the brush is not an artist.
