FAQ's

Q. I'm new to airbrush, should I buy the SP-35 or SP-40 Airbrush Gun?

A: We recommend the SP-40 Airbrush gun as it's ideal for entry-level artists, beauty, and light body work. Some beginners prefer the more advanced SP-35, but note that it is only compatible with the Pro Plus and S-One Compressors whereas the SP-40 is compatible with all TEMPTU compressors.

Q. What's the difference between the SP-35 and SP-40 Airbrush Guns?

A: The SP-35 is a dual action, top gravity feed airbrush gun featuring a push-and-pull trigger that separates the activation for air and makeup. This more advanced airbrush is ideal for intermediate-advanced artists, face, body, and fine detail work.

The SP-40 is a single action, top gravity feed airbrush gun featuring hybrid technology that allows for continuous airflow and is ideal for beginners, entry-level artists, beauty, and light body work.
