When i started airbrushing several years ago i only researched airbrushs and air demand for them. All i was interested in ar the time was just getting to the end result. Now i am actually learning there are airbrush accessories that make life so much less frustrating. Like airbrush holders built to mount on the aircompressor.😂 i wonder why i didn'r care about this idea before?😂
Thank you thank you for this tutorial! My compressor guide didn't come with any setup instructions and I couldn't figure out why air wasn't coming out. But I just needed to set it to the maximum and work from there. Appreciate it!
this video saved me from an absolutely stupid mistake. I have a similair compressor and my air pressure regulator also has a "push lock" which i've never encountered before. So my logic was to press down as hard as i could on the dial and then try and turn it. I couldn't figure out if I just have weak hands or if i was doing something wrong untill I stumbled across your video showing me to lift the nob hahahaha
Good luck with your journey. Our website has many helpful videos which may help you to avoid some of the issues, that those new to airbrushing, sometimes struggle with.
@@BARTSHARPAirbrush hi i getting a similar compressor with 3L airtank; with regard to the airbrush working pressure. once it is set, if i use the spring below the air filter to release water and air inside; will the psi gauge drop to 0 so that i can unscrew the knot below the airtank to release the moisture inside then do i need to re-setup the working pressure again?
@@leomr1504 If you press the spring air/water release pin you will only lose all of the air (from the tank) if you keep the spring pressed in. You won't need to reset the working air pressure after using the moisture release spring on the AFR. You only need to use the AFR spring if there is a visible build up of water within the clear section of the AFR. The brass dial, under the air tank, should be used frequently to drain any water build up in the air tank (you don't need to overtighten as the inner part should have a small o-ring which forms an airtight seal. Over tightening can cause the o-ring to compress or become damaged). Hope this helps and happy spraying!
@@BARTSHARPAirbrush i just gotten my compressor. With regards to removing my airbrush for cleaning,i assume i should turn off my compressor b4 remove the airbrush from airhose if not air will just keep coming out. Also with regards to draining water buildup in the airtank, should i do it everytime after use n just leave the valve open overnight?
@@leomr1504 Hi, yes turned off compressor when disconnecting your airbrush as air will be lost through the hose (unless you have a quick release adaptor which i recommend). You may only need to drain the air tank once or twice a week depending on use. Happy spraying mate!
I bought a compressor two months ago and it's been just sitting on my hobby desk because I couldn't find any info on setting up. This was literally exactly what I needed, thank you so much
Wow, I had thought mine was broken and couldnt lower the PSI, but you advised that you need to lower it much more than you think and boom! It worked! Thanks so much!
I would rather hear your voice than any music in the background. You don't need it, your voice, tone, speed is enough for the listener. Great video, I'm a new airbrush user and this really helped me out.
Finally a video that clearly shows how to fix the PSI Setting...Thanks. A lot. Really! I was borderline going crazy as to why it wasn't adjusting. Simply pulling the trigger while adjusting did it.
Absolutely brilliant information - exactly what the manufacturer should have provided when I purchased my compressor! This has made a huge difference to me. Thanks so much :)
I was about ready to shoot either myself or the compressor. Glad that I wasn't the only one who did not understand how to set up this compressor and regulator
I can't stress enough how tremendously helpful it was during assembling of my first airbrush compressor. It's not perfectly vertical, more like on your recording, but it works and I was able to prime my first miniature with airbrush. Thank you!
Thank you for this video, super helpful in figuring out what was wrong with my airbrushing process. Turns out the compressor I got came preset to about 45psi when my airbrush is supposed to be used at around 25-30! Now that you've helped me figure out how to lower the pressure, it doesn't feel like it's going to crack open anymore haha
Your instuctions are definetly the clearest and easiest to follow and understand after looking at a few Thank you so much. Looking forward to using this new fancy toy.😊
I have had this compressor and air gun for 16 years and i very nearly bought another one until i saw your video. I never knew about pressure or how to set this. I have never set my air pressure. A huge thank you for a very clear and informative video.. Im looking forward to using it again with confidence. Thank you
I just tried setting up my first-ever airbrush (Paasche D500sr). Instructions were beyond minimal, so I’m glad I found this video. It explained everything. Thank you!
This was exactly the tutorial I needed. Fitting the regulator to my first compressor and I wasn't sure how to get to to sit straight. Off to do some trial and error now :)
Just bought my first compressor and first airbrush and the instructions that came with it were abysmal. Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed!
This is actually a perfect tutorial that guides you to know the tips and warnings of how to properly use a compressor. I’m a beginner barely starting out in using a air brush and I’m more relived to know the basics in maintaining the compressor but also to be aware of any troubles that I may have with my compressor or airbrush. Thx dude :)
Thank you! I just got an airbrush and compressor, and the manual that came with it was useless - this video was fantastic and answered all of my questions for how to use the airbrush.
Thanks for the tip on the regulator as I was not pushing it down or pulling the knob up and thought there was something wrong with it. Awesome man thank you!
Hello Bartsharp, just came across your how to:video perfect timing as I am awaiting the arrival of my Bartsharp compressor many thanks for sharing this content 👍.
This helped immensely. I recently got in to airbrushing so a complete novice. I picked up a timbertech compressor off amazon to go along with a badger airbrush/hose. Aside from the fact the badger hose is a 1/4” connector to a 1/8” regulator but that’s a whole other story. The instructions included with my compressor were lacking at best.. so had no idea how to set ‘working pressure’ but this helped me a lot.
Those air compressors are sold under many different names and in many countries. They all have the same mutilated English instructions. You think by now one of the importers would have had the instructions done correctly and notified the Chinese manufacturers.
@@wongleong2102 You did not respond with anything. I have one of these same compressors (different name) and the instructions do need a clean up with the translation. Same issue was how to set working pressure even though mine had the pressure gauge already attached.
Just watched this and it has made a lot of things much clearer and made me realise I need to use more PTFE tape and how I can achieve a working airbrush pressure, thank you!
Great stuff! This has helped me a lot. I'm new to airbrushing. I actually bought a Bartsharp airbrush and compressor in 2020 but only now have a hobby room to use it in, 2 years later!
Great video, clear and concise. No problems with your voice over and, as a complete newbie, it was just what I needed to see. Incidentally, I found your channel because I had just ordered a quick release connector from your store. Looking forward to looking through your back catalogue of videos.
A colleague gave me an old Badger air compressor that lacks not only a switch but an air regulator as well. I came across your video while looking for something else but it is a help for when I get the regulator. I also have 2 different air brushes, a Paasche and a gravity feed one as well. I had to buy adapters to fit them. I might invest in the quick connects to ease switching between air brushes. Thanks for posting this.
Excellent video as I have this exact compressor and wondered why I couldn't get a good working pressure and this answered all my questions and by following this I sorted all my problems out so many thanks....I subbed after watching this.
Thank you for this guide, I'm brand new to airbrushing and got this compressor and had no idea how to set it up. Although I ran out of type trying to get the piece in the upright position. So I still don't have it set up yet
THANK YOU so much for making this video. It was succinct and highly informative. I could not get the filter/water condenser thingy to orient the right way. I was going crazy, but your advice to add more plumbers tape was right on. And thanks for the holder idea too....and even more important, how to set the pressure!! I've saved this video as there was NO manual that came with my compressor!
Excellent video. Answers so many questions I had. I was starting to think I was being stupid not knowing the answer as everyone just seemed to get into the painting bit. Thank you!
BrotherMatus, you are most welcome! Thank you for posting as it let's me know that you found the content helpful. Please pass the video link onto everyone else who you think might find it useful.
Thank you for the great video, this was exactly the info I needed. I'm new to the hobby and setting up the compressor correctly has been the most confusing aspect of the entire process.
Thank you very much for your video. Just got myself a brand new compressor but did not know how to work the air pressure adjustment gauge. Now I know. Thanks again!
I literally just got my air brush set today and was wondering how to adjust! I pushed down on the button ….I feel so dumb, I had to lift it first? Thanks for clearing that all up !
Thank you for your incredibly well presented usage guidance. I am an Air Brush Newbie and was disappointed with the total lack of equipment literature provisions in the tools I selected. Case in point, my Timbertech combo Air Compressor & Tank's manual provided barely more than an assembly guide & was void of even basic information about the Air Release.
Can you please tell me how long these air compressor can run, with out get to hot? I have one but I’ve not used it a lot, and need to get it back out ... I use it to airbrush nails with! Thank you so much 😊
Hi, it depends on what pressure you are running it at and if there are any short breaks between spraying. Compressing air produces heat so the compressor unit gets hot and has a thermal safety cut off switch. To extend spraying time you could try using a desk fan to cool the compressor unit. : )
Aaah, thank you so much for this video, I could not figure out how to adjust the PSI properly. Turns out I wasn't turning the pressure regulator dial nearly enough. As a complete beginner I had absolutely no frame of reference, and the compressor didn't come with any instructions.
That was a very good, informative video. I was unaware that air fittings required that much PTFE tape. I thought two or three revolutions was sufficient. Thanks for the showing the proper way to apply it.
I got this regulator and compressor (without a tank) as part of a set. I had no idea if the gauge was supposed to be giving you the working pressure with the trigger depressed or not because there was no documentation. Thanks for clearing this up.
Thankyou my regulator would not sit vertical.. never knew more ptfe was the solution. Many thanks

1:26 OMG you have to lift it to set the air pressure XD Thankyou!
i literally just read it too

Wow, this is a terrific video !!! Thank you! You are a good teacher. Much appreciated
Exactly what I needed!!!! You’re the man!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this, my regulator always tightens upside down, so the way you explained how to use the tape is very useful, thanks 😊
Dug out my airbrush system and loved this video!! Thank you!
This was by far the best and easiest to understand video I’ve seen on the subject

A revaluation now I know how to set pressure properly on my
New to me Used compressor,
So clearly informative thank you.👍
Love this video, as opposed to the "noisy background" one. Extremely informative, thanks.
Just got mine today and couldn't figure out how to adjust the pressure -- this was exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Thank you! I just got an airbrush and compressor, and the manual that came with it was useless - this video was fantastic and answered all of my questions for how to use the airbrush.
Thanks for this tight and informative demo. Helped me get up and running 🎉
My Air Pressure Regulator was already fitted when I bought my compressor from you!
Very helpful tips for beginner... Thanks for the video..
Thanks for the tip on the regulator as I was not pushing it down or pulling the knob up and thought there was something wrong with it. Awesome man thank you!

Glad the video helped!
Good vid, my compressors booklet is lacking in detail, but this was well explained on how to set the regulator.
Cheers.
I thank God that I found you and this video
I didn't know you had to pop the pressure adjustment up otherwise i would've broken that 😅
Very informative, better than simple manual of compressor, and it explained the adjustments in a visual form perfectly.
You are the Best ❤️ 🥇
Very useful thank you. Just got a compressor/airbrush and was trying to figure out how to set the pressure but had no instructions. Great work
Thank you so much ,I just bought the airbrush from you to start having a go . Can't wait.
This was great! You truly helped to answer a number of questions/concerns before I started with my new airbrush system. Thanks
Thank you, really pleased that we could help you out.
Thank you this was by far the best video on this unit
Thanks for the straightforward video and the encouragement to just trial and error it
Thank you very much for your video. Just got myself a brand new compressor but did not know how to work the air pressure adjustment gauge. Now I know. Thanks again!
This is superb. Thank you.
Brilliant Sir, thanks
bought my first kit today, im glad i found this video 10/10
