An airbrush kit for beginners and professionals alike, suitable for a wide range of applications. The AC100 Airbrush Kit contains:

  • Multi-purpose SP35 double action airbrush
  • 0.35 needle
  • 0.35 nozzle
  • 2ml gravity feed colour cup with lid
  • Spanner

  • AC100 Compressor

  • Regulator Gauge
  • 2 airlines
  • 4 air outlet thread converters
  • 5 bottles of airbrush colour
  • 1 bottle of airbrush cleaner
  • A colour chart
  • 'How to Begin Airbrushing' video

All supplied in a great lockable carry case with shoulder strap.

Double action refers to the lever on this airbrush - press down for air, pull back for paint. The further the lever is pressed down, the stronger the air force, the further the lever is pulled back, the greater the amount of paint. Painting with airbrushes can be used with so many art materials - all surfaces can be airbrushed - paper, canvasses, metal, wood, glass, plastic...you name it, you can airbrush onto it! The key is to ensure that the paint/ink you use is compatible with the surface being sprayed.

All kinds of paint can be used with your airbrush - acrylic paints, oil paints, watercolour paints, water based inks - as long as they are thinned to the correct milky consistency, thus allowing them to flow freely through the airbrush. You may have to mix some paints with water or a solvent to achieve this. Or, of course, you could use a dedicated airbrush colour straight from the bottle, such as Magic Color or Createx.

You may choose to use paints containing cellulose, but this will rot the O-Rings. Replacements can be purchased here. You can also purchase replacement needles, nozzles and nozzle/needle caps for your airbrush here, but please note that only 0.35mm can be fitted to this model.

If you would prefer to use aerosol propellant, rather than a compressor, we also sell the SP35 airbrush in our SP35 Airbrush Kit - click here.

The AC100 Compressor is a quiet running single airbrush piston compressor with a 0.57CFM with Auto Stop. Up to 60 psi. It can be used constantly for up to 4 hours without any loss of performance.

As part of our art materials supply, we also sell our airbrushes separately. Several are independent, double action models so if this one is not for you, why not try the XL2000 for nail and body art, the Focus airbrush for fine art or model painting, or the Evolution for the professional airbrush artist.

With double action airbrushes there is a "golden rule" for operation: "AIR ON FIRST, AIR OFF LAST"

Please note: The most common reason we find for airbrushes to stop working is that they have not been cleaned properly. For more information on this, click here:
