Airbrush basics: Master G233 airbrush cleaning and assembly, plus my setup!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- I get a lot of questions about airbrushes, so I thought I'd take a second to show you a bit about mine. I'll show you how to clean an airbrush like mine, how to lubricate it for maintenance, and explain a little about each piece and what they do. Once we have it all back together, I'll also tell you a little about the main differences between different types of airbrushes and show you my hoses, regulator, and compressor. If you have any questions about the use of airbrushes, I'll be sharing some info on it in future videos, so I'll try to cover it then.

I know this video is 4 years old, but it is still extremely helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how its done :) Much appreciated!
I haven't touched my airbrush in years, so after a recent frustrating project, I took it all apart to clean but couldn't remember how the secondary lever guide was positioned... Your video got me back painting! Thank you!
Thank try so much. A life saver!!! Took mine apart and when I went back to reassemble, the brain had gone blank.
You’ve saved my life!!
Foolishly disassembled my brush and could not get it back together..
Excellent video!!
I know this is an old video but THANK YOU!!! I just dug out my airbrush as I have a new hobby of painting minis and had no idea on how this went together and worked. Saved my $40 on buying a new one :)
Four Years Later, I'm Here To Say Thank You For The Breakdown Explanation To Many Questions. You Are Great At Breaking Down Thee Assembly And Disassembly Of The Airbrush. Very Informative Way Of Explaining. Hope You Continue, As Your Teaching Are The Simplest To Follow. Many Follow The Teacher Whom Isn't Complicated.
Well I pulled mine apart completely for the first time after some model painting. Cleaned up nice and sparkly. Put it back together again and it didn't work. Scanned u tube and watched a couple of modellers and they didn't help. Stumbled across yours and saw your brush is exactly same as mine. Watched your tutorial and now it's working and adjusted as it should. Thanks for a very instructional vid. You saved me from embarrassment and asking my model outlet to put it back together. You get two Rambo thumbs up!!!
Ahh, thank you!! I'm so glad to know it was what somebody needed! Sometimes when I make videos like this I'm not entirely sure how helpful they'll be, so that made me feel much better.
Lomi's Playground, don’t worry. This was very helpful! I just got the airbrush and saw needles and plastic containers, I was befuddled on how to take it apart! Now I know, and I feel like a pro!
I've had the same problem as you, this brush seems close to mine so i thin this video will help me too
OH wow!
Thank you SO MUCH!
You were so cleaner than most.
Most people casual skip steps or present parts in a way that are not visible on the camera.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Can I just say THANK YOU! I JUST got my first airbrush and needed to change to the 0.5mm needle & I took it apart and could not figure out how to get it back together. I was practically in tears trying to figure it out. I found your video & OMG… You made this SOOOOO EASY!!!! I changed my needle & just got my airbrush fully assembled, yeah!!! What a lifesaver!!
I know this is an older video, but it was EXACTLY what I needed! I got my airbrush used from a friend, and after playing with it for awhile, I lightly cleaned it and packed it away. Fast-forward to a year later, I needed it for a project. Of course it didn't work properly because I hadn't cleaned it properly, but after pulling it apart and thoroughly cleaning it, I was baffled by the secondary lever guide, which fell out before I could see where it was. I also had the trigger in backwards.
So, thank you SO MUCH for your clear, concise video on both cleaning and assembly! I'm definitely adding it to my favorites!
So I watch your show 300 more times the little tip piece I found you put your needle through the gun running through the tip piece then you can screw it on now that I figured out how to put the thing back together and got it working I'm happy that is one aggravating piece of equipment to try to put back together
Thank you for your helpful video, the best I've seen on dismantling and rebuilding . I was puzzled how that little part just behind the trigger fitted. Thank you again.
Thank you 😊 great video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I'm new to airbrushing , have this same kit and couldn't figure out what was wrong with the trigger since I last cleaned it. While watching your video I discovered the trigger wasn't seated properly. I also learned the use of the other hose connector ....I've had this kit for several months and had no idea 🤔🤭. Thanks again .
I’ve been watching videos for hours just trying to find one like this. Thank you for taking the time to make such a helpful video!
Thanks ! I had just finished cleaning mine for the first time and have absolutely no clue how to put it back together.
Awesome video, Truly made my day after I couldn't figure out how to reassemble my brush, many thanks.
Easily the best tutorial video I've ever seen for the Master series airbrushes
Thank you for this video! My secondary lever guide dropped out of my airbrush while I was disassembling in for the first time and I had no idea what it was. Good to know I didn't just break it lol
Oh gosh, that sounds like me XD I called a friend with more experience, freaking out and going "I BROKE IT ON THE FIRST DAY!" She had a good laugh at me. I'm glad the video helped!
Hi Lomi! Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I just got my Master G233 set, but it didn’t come with any instructions on how to properly break it down and clean it, or how to set it up/make adjustments. It did come with a small card that has a QR code for their website, but I didn’t find any instructions there, either, only a showcase of other products. Thanks again!!
I was having a problem reassembling my airbrush after clearing out a blockage, and something wasn't fitting correctly, so I googled "assembling an airbrush" and voila not only did this work but it is the same type I have (mine doesn't have any company logo etc on it) and it worked perfectly after reassembling it!
I took mine apart to clear the cobwebs (never used it much, inexperienced) and then was faced with a load of weird bits of metal to reassemble. Maybe I would have got there but then I found you. Thank you, you saved me from a world of pain!
Glad it was useful to you!
Hey Lomi, I just got the exact airbrush kit w. compressor from Amazon & I'm new to airbrushing. I've been practicing on plastic spoons this past week & I like your how to video very much.....very helpful on how to dismantle it, clean it & put it back together......thanks ever so much......Chris.
I obtained a used G233 that was all gunked up with old paint. This video was invaluable in helping me reassemble it. Thank you so much!
Very informative video thank you. Casual scale model builder here, I have the G22 dual action, gravity fed, basic air brush to get the job done. Your video is a 6 out of 5. i was experiencing a sticky trigger with drops in pressure and i do believe it was the piston as you mentioned. like i said i am casual builder and was looking into a second brush just to have it, I think i will give that a try simply for cost containment. subscribed to learn some more techniques.
This video is GOLD. Taught me everything. Thank you.
I just figured out how to assemble my Tamiya extra fine airbrush, Thank you!!!
I ordered G233 and a separate hose with 1/8 inch fittings on both ends. My california compressor has a 1/4 inch female fitting, but after watching this video I think I can figure something out. Thanks for making it !
I want to thank you for putting this up. I just started airbrushing and this helped. Thank you again.
Thanks for your help. Was looking for this exact info. The first tutorial I looked at from a different RUclipsr didn't help at all; yours did the trick. Most appreciated.
Ty so much for this well done video. Not only was it informative but it helped me out more than the previous videos I looked toward to reconstruct my new airbrush.
I got the same airbrush for Christmas . Your video has been added to liked videos for the future .
Thanks for the great tutorial on the 233. I am getting back into the art and this was my first new airbrush purchase. Super helpful!
This appears remarkable! Simply cannot hang on to observe the same as this. Great job.
THANK YOU!!!! My airbrush would have started in pieces if it wasn’t for you and your video!!! You’re the best!!! Ty
I just bought this airbrush. Thanks for showing me how to take care of it.
Pro tip: you can watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Branson Ford Yup, have been watching on flixzone for years myself :)
Only video that explain everything 🙏👌thank you !
Thank you for this video, it was very informative as i am new to airbrushing. I bought a master TC 40 compressor and the G22 and G223 airbrushes. I used them for the firs time today.
Thanks to you I was able to assemble my airbrush.
This video saved me! Youre the best!!
Amazing video, clear, simple and practical, thanks
a whole year later, and this is BY far the best instructional vid for this brush. THANK YOU!
best air brush video on the tube,no bullshit ,straight to the point,thanks Lomi
Very helpful Lomi. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this! So helpful.
Thank you, this video was amazingly helpful!!!
One thing to mention, the knob for the quick release air valve does not have a stopper and will fly across the room if it's pressurized and you unscrew it too much!
Thanks. You saved me! :) Had no clue how to put back that little spring at the lever :) Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey, great video thank you so much. My mom was frustrated when we weren't able to assemble her airbrush.
I'm impressed with your mechanical knowledge! Great video and well done.
Nobody:
Darth Vader talkings to the prosthetics guy after the recovery of lava time: I am impressed with your mechanical knowledge.
Thank you so much for your help
Excellent video, thanks for your help
Great video. Thanks for posting it. Saved my butt!
I just bought one of these airbrushes. Seem to work well. Great video to learn how to care for the brush. I too use a large compressor and have quick connects all around. One note though... The Teflon tape should be yellow not white for air/gas lines. White is for plumbing!
Huh, I wonder if it varies by brand? The white teflon tape I got was stocked directly next to the air compressors to be used with them!
@@LomisPlayground Pink, Yellow, Green, and White tapes are color coded by density... hence their different application. Pink is for higher presser water lines, white for domestic water lines ie: shower, sink etc. Green is for oxygen and medical gases. Many lay people, including craft store staff, may not know that they are disseminating misinformation. If this happened in a hardware store...for shame ! :~)
@@VA7ACG That's good information. Thanks for sharing! We got it from the compressor section at Home Depot, but I suppose the expertise of the staff there is hard to gauge... :s
@@LomisPlayground Home 'despot' often draws a facepalm from me. On a brighter note, I just last week put the airbrush to work on a 40 year old pinball play-field that was in need of some TLC. It worked very well and thanks to a product called "Frisket" the result was great. Not bad for an amateur! Lomi, I also thank you so much for this video that helped in so many ways to ensure I had a clue on cleaning and care of the Master airbrush.
thank u so much this video is very helpful❤
Great Job..
Holy crap! I love you. This is the only video that helped me! Thanks so much
So glad it helped!
Very helpful. This is probably the best vid on here for us novices! Thanks so much!!
I'm really glad it was helpful to you.
Your help is very helpful
Lote of thanx
She is good. Thank-you!
Good video. Using the big compressor, you still need to have your external regulator and water trap vertical to trap water. I just got an airbrush same one as yours. I started out in 1981, with a full size siphon fed gun for painting cars. Now I have a gravity feed HVLP gun too. Some 0-rings need silicone oil. Your Badger oil is a safe bet.
Polyurethane automotive primer, paint and clear coat only need 28-34psi. Your big compressor is overkill. And yeah, you need to use that regulator so you don't blow up your airbrush. Working psi
Oh yeah, the big compressor is way more than anyone would ever need for this. But since we already had it and I have the separate regulator and a regulator on the tank itself, it makes sense to use it... Plus, it has the great benefit of being able to fill up the tank and then get an hour or two of airbrushing work done after kids are in bed. I am sure my neighbors also appreciate me not running a compressor in the small hours of the morning!
Thank you ❤
This helped me a lot!
Thank you.
I wish I had found this vid before . I'm a newbie and I took my master airbrush completely a part after using it and broke the nozzle when reinstalling it . Live and learn . How often should you disassemble the gun completely to clean it everytime or occasionally . Thanks for the vid .
Full disassembly isn't usually necessary--most of the time, I just run clean water or airbrush cleaner through after I'm done using it and then remove the needle so it can dry completely inside. I only do a full disassembly and cleaning like this every few months. Of course, if you're using your airbrush every day instead of just on weekends like me, you'd need to clean more often. And if any problems pop up along the way, cleaning never hurts!
@@LomisPlayground
Thank you now I just have to wait to get the new nozzle . Subscribe .
Thank you
I have come across how too Clean, when buying my cheap airbrush. Reading others comments. One guy who said they had problems with there gun and he used gun oil to Lubricate his Airbrush ,works great. And you said A1 Sewing machine oil is ok. I was thinking about Linseed oil. That used for arts paints. I played with it seems that it might work. What you think??
Brilliant! Also, I love the hands of an artisan. Mine are horribly overused lol, Beautiful perfect hands are “stupid” hands. Can I say that here?
Haha, I'm for it! I'm sometimes jealous of ladies with pretty nails and such, but overall I'd much rather have scraped up fingers and lots of creative fun.
THANK YOU
How do you twist that lever guide back in? I’ve been trying for 3 days and I can’t get it stay put
Love the love the video by the way
Great video, thank you.
I can’t figure out how you are placing the lever guide?
Thanks for sharing! Very helpful, I’ve been thinking of getting an airbrush for like 5 years but I’m just a broke boi lol 😂
Oh yeah, they're pretty pricey... Ironically, a week after filming this, mine broke -_- So I'll be getting a replacement soon. I hope.
Jeez thank you bigtime...this solve the biggest puzzle lol
Easy and simple instruction..very helpful
Great video! Thank you!
Question how do you open the Cup? Mine is too tight.
Mine does occasionally get stuck--since the edges of the lid are ridged, I usually grab it with a silicone potholder to improve my grip and pry until it eventually pops off. If the vent hole on top of the lid gets clogged with paint, it can create a bit of a vacuum too which makes it really hard to remove, so I keep a sewing pin handy to poke through and make sure it's not suctioned on.
Thank you for the video, I just got my g233. What kind of oil do you lubricate the parts with?
I got a bottle of Badger Regdab airbrush lubricant a couple years back, it works well, was cheap, and you pretty much only ever need one bottle :) It lasts forever.
Very helpful vid.thanks
I just bought the same air brush to do a little bit of spot painting on my car’s dash board. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
thanks for vid,i just bought one of these cheap airbrushes and was worried about cleaning it,I have a iwata hp and its way easy to clean,but i bought this one to paint model car bodies
They're pretty great for basics and mine definitely earned itself with all the projects I completed with it. I do feel I've outgrown the Master airbrushes now though so I'll be upgrading to an Iwata soon. :)
Yeah its attached to the new ones but it keeps falling off peace of crap. The air brush is awesome other than that part right there at 2:45
Great video! I just broke the nozzle on a cheap airbrush and have been trying to figure out what to get next and from what I've seen I will probably pick one of these up and hopefully that will get me by until I can get a nicer Iwata or Badger.
What kind of oil do you use to lubricate your brush?
I've been using Badger's Regdab Needle Juice. It doesn't seem to gather as much dust as other options I've used.
Thank you very helpful
Thanks so much!!🔥
Thank you, I have thought about getting one to do face-ups and such but never thought of looking up how to clean and care for one....awesome idea to know before getting one.
Kinda like taking a riffle apart and knowing all your parts to be sure it is going to work when you need it to.....I hate climbing tree to get away from a bear...mind you I would hate being bear poop more....lolol
I'm pretty sure my husband can reassemble a rifle a lot faster than I can reassemble an airbrush, though XD But yeah, I wish I'd known how to clean and maintenance mine before I got it! It was a bumpy learning process.
Nice..
Are the male threads on the air inlet for the brush BSP or NPT?
I love your vids
Thank you :)
I see this video is old, but when connecting the quick release to the airbrush use teflon tape as it gives a more sucre air connection, as well when connecting the quick release to the air hose. If you have a g76 or g79 which allows you to switch cups of different sizes, use teflon tape also.
I do use teflon tape, actually, where needed. :) The rubber seals in the hoses I bought have been plenty for an airtight seal on the quick release and the smaller air hose--I use teflon tape to seal around the connections to my regulator, which is a leaky piece of junk I probably need to replace at some point.
@@LomisPlayground I was just sharing friendly advice, that's all.
I appreciate it!! It's been a long time since I made this video so I realize I probably didn't mention anything about connections or seals. :)
@@LomisPlayground Exactly I believe I stated that the video was old and I am sure you have learned much more since then. Again I wasn't trying to act is I knew more. I am a newby. I just got the G233, through amazon. So I will be looking at more of your videos.
do you know where to get nozzle O rings ? Thanks !
If you check this? I followed this video, put back together but in paint cup, it blows back not out??
Blowback in the paint cup usually means a blockage in the nozzle, but it can also mean a seal isn't tight enough or the needle isn't pushed all the way in. It's hard to diagnose the issue without seeing it myself in person, but I'd take the nozzle apart and check carefully for blockages--it's okay to clean the metal parts of the nozzle with acetone if you don't see anything but suspect a blockage, just don't get it on the rubber gaskets or they'll turn brittle :)
Great video! But now I'm totally intimidated to ever get one, they seem so complicated... XD
Haha XD They really aren't that bad. You usually won't have them this disassembled. Most of the time just cleaning the needle and nozzle and running cleaner through it is enough to keep it ship-shape :)
You know, I use a 30 gallon professional compressor. It works as well but I have to use a male fitting. So all of you looking to get an airbrush to use with your compressor, BUY AN EXTRA HOSE THAT COMES WITH IT. The brass piece is 7 bucks on its own, so get the harbor freight hose. It comes with the adapter.
So I just bought one,I cleaned it,but no paint goes comes out.
Wait a moment , oil will create fish eye on paint and clear coats ! Were you using an specific oil?
It's airbrush lubricant, so it's made specifically for this :) Never had any problems!
May I please have the name of song playing in the background of the entire video it's so soothing
I'm glad you like it! My musician brother actually composed it exclusively for my videos. He titled the track "Distant" but I don't think he has it on Soundcloud since he made it specifically for me.
Can I have a copy of it I'd love to paint to it it's so relaxing
Good
liked and subscibed
Can you put the paint in the cylinder? Or do I need to buy a separate container? I'm using latex paint for a Michael Myers mask I'm making
Since this is a gravity feed brush, the paint goes in the cylindrical cup on the top ^^ Just make sure the paint is thin enough!
