Smaller fluid cups, which usually don’t include lids, are preferred by users working with small amounts of color at a small spray scale. Called “C cups” in Iwata models, these cups are ideal for holding several oz of paint and for painting 3d objects where the airbrush will be tilted at various angles. Most larger gravity cups include a secure lid, which prevents paint spills. Most gravity cups include a secure lid, which prevents paint spills.

Gravity feed is the most practical choice for most applications. This feed style requires smaller amounts of paint and utilizes every drop, making it economical to use and easy to clean. This allows the airbrush to spray at lower air pressures. It is called gravity feed because the force of gravity helps spray material move through the airbrush. In a gravity feed system, paint is drawn into an airbrush from a color cup (also called a fluid cup) mounted on top of the airbrush. There are three types of airbrush feed styles. This refers to how the paint or spray material is “fed” into the airbrush. The Main Parts of an Airbrush Key airbrush terms you should know.
