![]() ![]() To which can be adjusted depending on the amount of paint required to achieve the task at hand. The paint is controlled via a knob that adjusts positioning of the needle inside the airbrush. The trigger.Ī single action airbrush utilizes a button like mech that delivers airflow & paint flow when pushed. Simply speaking, the terms Single action & Double action (In terms of airbrushing that is) refers to the number of actions required of the mechanism that controls the airbrush. If you are unsure as to what each of these options are then be sure to check out my latest articles on each topic. Will you opt for an Internal Mix, or External Mix? Will you opt for a Double Action Airbrush, or Single Action? Given we are discussing the siphon feed airbrush you essentially have 4 options (2 choices to make) to choose between when it comes to siphon feed airbrush selection. The Atomization Points (Internal Mix, & External Mix).The Control Options (Single Action, & Double Action).The Paint Feed Options (Gravity Feed, Side Feed, Siphon Feed).Now, it is important that I note: there are 3 different parts to the options available when it comes to airbrushes. The siphon feed airbrush comes in a multitude of different options. (More on the color change process later) Available Siphon Feed Airbrush Options ![]() Rather it is somewhat similar to the other paint feed options. But I have come to find that it actually does not commonly make the process of changing colors easier. Notice I said “some say this makes the process of changing colors easier”. Simply because you can skip the steps of dumping the current paint and cleaning the cup to prep for the next color. Some say this makes the process of changing colors much easier than the other airbrush feed options. This means when it comes time to change colors, rather than rinsing out the paint that is currently in the bottle for another color, you simply switch paint bottles. But here I want to focus on the function rather then the looks.Īnother large difference between the suction feed and the other two is that the suction feed utilizes different paint bottles for different colors. Well, that and the siphon feed airbrush is physically different then that of its counterparts. While the side feed and gravity feed airbrushes do not require added air pressure in order to “suck” the paint up into the atomization chamber, rather the paint simply flows into it via gravity. One of the largest differences between the siphon feed airbrush and its counterparts is that it requires extra air pressure in order to pull the paint up from the bottom of the paint bottle. while the gravity feed airbrush, and side feed airbrush locate the paint cup at the side of the airbrush or on top… ![]() The siphon feed airbrush places the paint bottle underneath the airbrush. The largest difference between all the different paint feed options is the fact of paint cup / bottle location. The siphon feed airbrush works by utilizing a lower pressure system to pull the paint up (from inside the paint bottle) and into the atomization chamber, where it then is atomized and sprayed out the tip of the nozzle. Lets begin with a full explanation as to how the siphon feed airbrush works How The Siphon Feed Airbrush Works
