Gaahleri FAQs

Is Gaahleri suitable for beginners?


Yes. Gaahleri designs several airbrushes and compressors specifically for new users. They’re easy to maintain, smooth to control, and very forgiving, making them ideal for first-time airbrush painters.

What PSI should I spray at?

Most model paints, including Kaleido Colorworks, spray well between 15–25 PSI.

Lower PSI gives softer, finer control.

Higher PSI gives better coverage on large surfaces.

Adjust depending on:


  • Needle size

  • Paint thickness

  • Detail level

Do I need a compressor with a tank?


A tank isn't required, but it provides smoother airflow and more consistent pressure. This helps with fine detail, modulation, and longer painting sessions.

If you’re spraying often, a tanked compressor is worth the upgrade.

Do you offer support or warranty?


Yes. If you purchase Gaahleri products from ScaleCraft Studios, we’re your first point of contact. We offer local support, troubleshooting help, and assistance with any warranty claims.
