Cleaning a Paasche airbrush set properly after each use is important if you want it to run smoothly and efficiently. An airbrush can be an expensive investment, and the best way to protect it is to do a quick clean every time you finish using it. To clean your Paasche airbrush, you can perform the following steps:
- Loosen the needle chucking nut.
- Pull back the needle slightly to open the flow.
- Put a few drops of airbrush cleaner into the color cup.
- Clean the cup with a cotton swab or makeup brush.
- Pull the needle back and reattach the chucking nut.
- Flush the airbrush with cleanser until it comes out clear (when there's no paint left in the Paasche airbrush).
To do a deep clean, you’ll need to disassemble the airbrush according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Soak the needle cap, nozzle, and nozzle cap in rubbing alcohol (99% isopropyl) and wipe the needle with the same solution. Once every part has been cleaned, reassemble the airbrush according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
