Introduction

Before using this guide, make sure you have located a replacement needle and head set. These can be purchased directly from Badger. This guide will also work with other brands of airbrushes as the internal mechanics of all airbrushes share the same parts and structure.

Make sure to rinse any residual uncured paint from your airbrush before beginning.

No tools are needed for this guide.

Step 1

              Needle and Head

Inspect your needle for visible damage.
Any bend in the needle will affect the flow and pattern of paint from the airbrush.

Step 2

Disassemble your airbrush beginning with the needle. Each piece is held on with threading, so carefully unscrew each part one at a time by hand.
Make sure to work on a flat, clear surface to easily keep track of small and delicate parts.
Every part should be removed and broken down as far as possible, as paint buildup can occur in unexpected places.

Step 3

Inspect the size and type of your needle head. This will help you to order a proper replacement.
The head on the right is for the Badger 105, and the head on the left is for a much smaller and finer Badger Sotar 20/20.

Step 4

While your airbrush is disassembled, you may also want to replace the rubber o-ring present at rear of the brush assembly. The o-ring can be removed easily by hand, or a small flat-head screwdriver may be used to pry it off.
If you do not wish to replace it, make sure to remove it before cleaning the components with alcohol as soaking rubber in alcohol will cause the rubber to become brittle and inflexible.

Step 5

It is best to work somewhere that you will be able to easily find the head if it drops. Hold the airbrush body so that the head nesting is facing upwards.
Carefully set the new needle head in the nest, then screw the tip assembly on top, making sure the tip of the head is aligned with the hole in the tip assembly.

Step 6

Insert your new needle into the needle action assembly.
Make sure that the needle-holding nut is loosened to allow the needle to enter the assembly, and then tightened it to allow the needle to be moved by the trigger.
