I wouldn't dirty up an airbrush for a pair of couplers either, but some guys mass produce them, like Jerome did. On cleaning your airbrush (that you don't have
) lots of guys make too big of a deal out of that too. I can't tell you how many airbrushes have been handed to me as a baggie of parts. Cleaning is simple, and takes just a minute or so. Immediately after painting (this is the important part!) Rinse until the thinner shoots clear. Pull the needle out and wipe it off, put it back in, and rinse again. That's it. Airbrush clean. You only have to clean where the paint goes, so to all you folks complaining about taking the thing apart: stop doing it. I strip mine down all the way maybe once a year or less for a deep cleaning. I have trigger guns that are 10 years old and have never been all the way apart. It's only as hard as you make it. It is easier with gravity feeders than siphon feeders as you don't have that coupling to clean out, but rinsing & wiping the needle is still enough.
