Options for Talon:
.25mm head (TT-1 tip, TN-1 needle and TA-1 Aircap) - Great for jobs requiring the extremely fine detail
.66mm head (TT-3 tip, TN-3 Needle and TA-3 Aircap) - Great for spraying Metallics, Pearlescent and Thicker Paints
.66mm Fan Aircap (TAF-3 Aircap, TN-3 Needle and TT-3 tip) Will give a 2-1/2 to 3 inch flat pattern for covering larger areas

Working Pressures:

• Operating pressures 15-55 PSI; Maximum pressure 85 PSI. Fan aircap needs 20 PSI or more.

• 20-30 PSI is best for detail spraying w/ properly thinned paint

• Use the higher pressures for thicker material where fine detail is not critical or thin the paint to allow lower pressures.

Equipment Set-up:

The Airbrush is held in the same manner as a pen, with the index finger comfortably over the finger button.

1. Attach air hose to air supply and to airbrush. If using a regulator set pressure between 20 -55 PSI.

Airbrush Operation:

1. Press down on Finger Button to release air and pull back on button to control quantity of color.

2. To spray a fine line without heavy ends, start moving the airbrush without release of color. Then start the color at the beginning of line
and stop the color at the end, but continue the motion of the airbrush after the color has stopped.

3. Practice this movement until you can spray a fine line or a broad pattern without heavy build up at the beginning or end of your strokes.

4. Speed of movement controls density of color and fading effects at beginning and end of strokes.

5. For detail, hold the airbrush very close to the surface push down for air and pull back very slowly on the Finger Button to release a
small amount of paint.

6. For background work and broad effects, hold the airbrush away from the work surface and pull back on Finger Button to release
required amount of color.

7. For Stippling remove the aircap, push down on the trigger and pump the trigger forward and back. Adjust the air pressure between 15
and 50 PSI for desired stipple effect.

8. For more instruction see the “22 Airbrush Lessons for Beginners” booklet enclosed with your airbrush.
