Paasche Airbrush HG-08 Touch-Up Spray Gun - Review 

That is really cool to hear. Much appreciated. Thanks for the comment and watching.

SG, I'm glad you liked the video. I've always liked Paasche. My first brush was a Paasche VL siphon feed. Thanks for dropping me a comment, and thanks for watching.

Steven, I know right. I research airbrushes and spray guns all the time and I was looking at the paasche airbrushes, Tallon to be exact and I ran across this one. I did some research and it intrigued me. I thought can a gun that cheap really be any good? The answer as you saw is yes. like I say in the video Paasche is a very good company. Thanks for watching.

Robert so glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

Rob, Good to hear you liked the video and good luck with the gun. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

NBF, Pancake! lol.

Urban, Air is first and then paint. So when you release the trigger, the paint shuts off and then the air. This ensures that the paint is blown off the needle. Hope this helps.

With this small gun for small jobs, I just use my 4-gallon craftsman. When you step up to guns with a 1.0 needle or larger is when you need a much bigger compressor.

Laurence, I don't see why not. Usually auto touch up guns start at 1.0 needles but my experience with this gun is that is would be great for auto touch up. Hope this helps and thank you for the question and for watching. Much appreciated.

Paul, because this gun is for small jobs you can get away with something as small as a pancake compressor. I know it is not the recommended cfm but I use it all the time for projects like guitars and smaller. But the bigger the tank and the higher cfm the better. A compressor that runs at 5 cfm or higher will start out around $450. So...if you plan on running bigger guns as well that's what I would get. I like the 27 gallon Fortress at harbor freight. Hope this helps.

Look at the stealth 20 gallon ultra quiet compressor its like 5 cfm at 90 6 at 40 psi. I found one for 350 u.s...

I looked up how big a 1/35 scale is and I think it would be to much. That HG-08 throws a lot of paint. I think an airbrush with a .5 needle for coverage and a smaller needle size like a .3 for detail would be better suited for that size work. Hope that helps and thanks for the question and watching.

NO ITS DEOSNT WROK ON MODELS ONLY ON AEROPLANES TAHTS WHAT JOE BIDEN TOLD ME I LOVE HIM HILLARY 2026

Hi Mike. Yes, I always spray with it wide open, and I never had a problem with the cup. Let me check when I get a chance, and I will get back to you on that one.

Just looked at mine. There is no seal between the cup and the gun. If yours is leaking, I would contact Paasche

@@TheAirbrushGarage thanks for looking. Ha , they told me to used pipe dope or Teflon tape. Not good.

superkillr, it is a .8mm needle nozzle. Sounds to me like you are in such disbelief of this gun you should spend the $40 dollars... Yes 40 not 50 dollars as I say in the video and see for yourself. Not much to loose. I think you will be very surprised. Thanks for watching killr, much appreciated.

Michael, thanks for watching. Links below. gauge amzn.to/3KZjDCO Trap amzn.to/3P3qT3P

That one is farted bro!

Antonio, I use either my craftsman pancake or my 21 gallon. What compressor doesn't matter. What is important is CFM and this gun requires Air Volume of 1.5-4 CFM. So when looking for a compressor look at the guns you want to use and make sure your compressor puts out the CFM you are looking for. Hope this help. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

Carl, you are correct I did forget to mention the air valve at the bottom of the handle. I always spray with mine wide open. But, beware because the gun is on the smaller side and my hand will move the valve when I'm spraying. I once took the whole gun apart because it stopped spraying only to find out that my hand was closing the valve a little at a time when I mad a pass. So now needles t I say i keep an eye on that when i use that gun. Sorry you where disappointed in the video but I do appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage I appreciate your reply sir. I used that spray gun for the first time today. I dialed in the spray pattern and took extra care to get everything in place first. I filled the fluid container with Cerakote's C-series product. I pulled out my spray gun holder and clamped it on my bench. Carefully I poured the product into the container using the appropriate strainer. Carefully I positioned the small gun into the holder and went to screw the cap on the cerakote product. Then the spray gun fell off the holder and spilled the cerakote product on the bench, floor and surrounding items. Ugg!!!!! Couldn't believe that happened after all the care and preparation I took. You see the holder was for a large size gun and fluid container. The small gun simply could not be secured in the holder. I thought you might get a chuckle out of my misfortune ; ). Possibly you might include a video about spray gun holders with caution on using them for this 0.8mm Paasche Spray gun. Lastly, I tried cleaning up the paint off the air pressure gage that came with the gun. Using acetone it melted the plastic face of the gage. Can't see the reading now. I plan on looking for a replacement with a glass lens that will not react to solvents. Thank you.

Jennifer, I probably would not. You really need the 1/4" fitting to a 3/8" hose to get the proper air flow. I'm afraid that even if you were able to hook that set up to such a compressor, I don't think I would maintain the 30 psi needed. Hope this helps.

Joe, my apologies, you are right. It is aluminum, I misspoke. The good new is aluminum won't rust ether. I think you will really like the gun I use mine all the time. I will go into the video and edit that out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and thanks for going through my link. Thanks for watching and enjoy the gun.

Mike, for jambs and touch up. .8 is a little small but it does throw a lot of paint. I spray motorcycle tanks with it. Check out my video on "Lacing". Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

Raoul, the bigger the tank is on a compressor th better but.....CFM (cubic feet per minute) is what you are looking for. This gun requires 2 to 4 CFM. Spray guns don't ever specify tank size, only compressor. Hope you found this helpful, thanks for the question and thanks for whathing.

O and O, thank you for sharing that. I have a 1.0 also but it is a TCP Global. Another cheap gun but I have been using it for years and really like it. The .8 intrigued me because I have everything but a .8 and as I said I like it. I have a project I am working on now and I am looking forward to spraying the candy's with it. Thank you for watching.

Ahhh...you are right. Sorry about that. Thanks for watching.uch apriciated.

superkillr, you obviously don't like the gun but yes....Paasche is an American company where do they get the parts...I don't know that. As I say in the video, my first airbrush was a Paasche and even though I am an Iwata guy I still like Paasche and after trying this gun I really like it. Thanks for watching.

@@TheAirbrushGarage You have brain damage if you believe Paasche has ANYTHING to do with making that other than telling the Chi-com factory to put their name on it.. in the plainest lettering possible.

You have interesting point. For that price point. Even tho paasche claims to be American made. I've heard otherwise. Especially at that price point. I find very hard to believe it's American made.

HATS WHATS MADE DIN CHINA OK IM VOING FOR JOE BIDEN AND HILARY IN 2026 MADE IN THOSE CHICOM FACTROIES CHINA THR BEST!!!!!
