HOW IT WORKS
Change airbrush colors without repeatedly changing paint bottles.
Prism AirPal keeps several prepared colors available at the airbrush instead of making you repeatedly stop, remove a bottle, attach another one, test it, and then start again. Five variable-flow valves let you select a color quickly and move through a painting with fewer interruptions.
Colors can be changed, transitioned, or blended while you work. One reservoir can also be dedicated to water or cleaning fluid, giving you a fast way to clear the airbrush between colors.
02 — AIRBRUSH COMPATIBILITY
Will Prism fit your airbrush?
Prism fits most bottom-feed airbrushes. A separate Prism configuration is available for the Iwata HP-B.
Other top-feed airbrush models are not supported.
If you are uncertain about your airbrush, contact us before ordering and include the make and model.
USING PRISM
Keep multiple airbrush colors ready while you paint.
Load the reservoirs with the colors you expect to use and keep one position available for water or the appropriate cleaning fluid when useful. Open the selected valve, spray, then clear the channel before moving to the next color.
Prism is especially useful when the job benefits from frequent color changes, related hues, gradients, or repeated access to the same colors. The point is not simply to hold five colors — it is to reduce the number of times the painting process has to stop.
CLEANING & CARE
Quick flush during the session. Thorough clean when you're done.
For color changes, use the cleaning reservoir to flush the airbrush and channel until the spray runs clear, then select the next color. At the end of a session, purge paint from the system and clean it according to the paint you used.
Keep the valves and tubing free of dried material. If a lever, gasket, or tubing connection ever needs attention, deal with it before forcing the control. A very small amount of dielectric grease can be used where appropriate on moving valve parts.
05 — FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Practical answers
Does Prism mix the colors inside the unit?
Prism gives you rapid access to prepared colors and makes transitions and blending easier while spraying. It is not a mechanical paint-mixing machine.
Do I have to fill all five reservoirs with paint?
No. A useful setup is to reserve one position for water or the cleaning fluid appropriate for the paint you are using.
How fast can I change colors?
The change itself is quick: clear the current color, select the next valve, and continue. The exact time depends on the paint, airbrush, and how thoroughly you want to flush between colors.
Can I blend colors while spraying?
Yes. Prism is particularly useful for transitions, gradients, and work where related colors need to remain immediately available.
Which airbrushes are compatible?
Most bottom-feed airbrushes are supported. A separate version is available for the Iwata HP-B. Other top-feed models are not supported.
Can paint be left in Prism between sessions?
For dependable operation, purge and clean the system when you are finished rather than allowing paint to dry in the tubing, valves, or airbrush.
What if I am not sure whether my airbrush will fit?
Contact us before ordering with the airbrush make and model. We would rather confirm compatibility first.
