Airbrushes in Jersey.

We're the island's official Harder & Steenbeck dealer, with Gaahleri for when you're just starting out. All in stock, not on order.

Know your airbrush.

Tap a number to see what each part does, and why it matters when you're choosing one.

Trigger

Dual action: press down for air, pull back for paint. Together they set how bold your line is, and that feel is exactly why it's worth trying one in the shop.

Pick your setup.

From a £49.99 first airbrush to the one you'll keep for years. Come and hold them all before you choose.

Harder & Steenbeck airbrushes are made in Germany by a company that's been going since 1923. Machined properly, sealed properly, and repairable rather than disposable.

The bits that go with it

The compressor matters more than people think. Steady pressure with no pulse shapes your finish more than the airbrush does.

  • Gaahleri Turbox Mini air compressor, boxed

    Turbox Mini compressor

    £47.99

    A good first compressor. Small enough for any desk, with a dial for the pressure.

  • Sparmax AC-501X airbrush compressor

    Sparmax AC-501X

    £208.99

    The one to run your H&S. It only switches on when you need air, and has a regulator, gauge and moisture trap built in.

  • Gaahleri braided air hose for airbrushes

    Hoses, fittings and spares

    Hoses from £4.79

    All on the hook, so a bent needle on a Friday doesn't mean waiting until Thursday.

  • Vallejo Model Air paint set

    Paint made for it

    Vallejo Model Air comes ready thinned for the airbrush, straight from the bottle.

New to airbrushing?

Most people who come in have never used one and aren't sure they'd get on with it. Fair enough.

Tell us what you paint, how often, and what your budget actually is, and we'll point you at the right setup. Including the cheaper one, if that's the right answer.

We'll cover the bits nobody mentions

  • Thinning ratios
  • A cleaning routine you'll actually keep up
  • Pressure settings
  • Why your first session will probably go badly

Already own one? If it's spitting, spattering or clogging, bring it in. Nine times out of ten it's cleaning or pressure, not a broken airbrush.

Try before you buy.

Come in and handle the range. Ask about trigger feel, cup size and needle sizes, then buy from someone you can walk back to with a question.
