Paasche VL-Set: The Legendary Double-Action Airbrush
The Paasche VL is widely considered the most versatile airbrush in the world. As a "double-action" siphon-feed model, it allows the user to achieve fine lines or broad patterns by simply adjusting the trigger. Proudly made in the USA, the VL-Set is the "workhorse" of the industry, designed to handle everything from thin inks to heavier lacquers and enamels.
What’s Included in the VL-Set?
This is the complete kit, designed to give you out-of-the-box versatility. Unlike single-nozzle kits, the VL-Set includes three different head sizes:
- Size 1 (Fine): For detail work and thin fluids. **
- Size 3 (Medium): The standard all-rounder for most applications. **
- Size 5 (Large): For heavy fluids, metallic paints, and broad coverage. **
Key Features & Benefits
- Chrome-Plated Body: Built for durability and easy cleaning.
- Siphon Feed Versatility: Use the included 1oz bottle for large jobs or the 1/4oz metal cup for quick color changes.
- Teflon Packing: Allows you to use both water-based and solvent-based paints without damaging the seals.
- Line Adjustment Screw: A unique feature that allows you to "set" your spray width for consistent stenciling.

Expert Maintenance Tip
Because the VL is a siphon-feed brush, it is essential to keep the air hole in the bottle cap clear. If your brush is "pulsing" or not drawing paint, check the bottle cap first! Albany Air stocks all genuine Paasche replacement parts, including VL-43 Needles and VL-227 Head Protectors, to keep your kit running for decades.
