Swallowtail Barbatos Rex Air Requirements


  • Does the Barbatos Rex Swallowtail have listed air requirements with 0.2/0.5/0.7mm? For instance, Spraygunner recommends a minimum of 1.4cfm@40psi for its No-Name Minigun with a 0.8mm needle.

    I didn't see any results when reading Gaahleri's pages or on other sites.

    Thank you.



  • I've been using about 14-16psi with the .28 and .5 


  • Pressure is to some extent a personal thing and will also vary depending on what brands you may be spraying and the distance,you are holding the brush from the subject.


  • My little airbrush compressor (1/5 hp, 3L tank) can't supply No-Name's minigun with enough air. I haven't used my Swallowtail yet, but I guess I should first try it with my garage compressor. Right now I'm spraying a 24" circular wood panel and an 18" circular wood panel. No detail, just one solid matte color.
