Paasche Airbrush Metal Color Cup – with lid, 2 oz

Description

This professional-grade aluminum color cup delivers reliable performance for serious airbrush work. The carefully engineered tapered design creates a secure connection with your airbrush while allowing for quick cup changes between colors or projects. At 2 ounces, this cup provides ample paint capacity for larger projects without the frequent refills that smaller cups require.

The lightweight aluminum construction maintains your airbrush’s natural balance, preventing hand fatigue during extended use. The included lid serves dual purposes: it keeps paint from drying out during breaks and allows you to store mixed colors for future use. This practical feature can save both time and materials, especially when working with custom color blends.

The durable metal construction stands up to regular cleaning with appropriate solvents and will serve you reliably across countless projects. Unlike plastic alternatives, this metal cup resists staining and won’t absorb paint residue over time.

How Homeschoolers Can Use This Product

Educational Benefits

This color cup supports hands-on learning across multiple subjects while developing fine motor skills and artistic confidence. Students learn proper tool maintenance, color mixing principles, and the relationship between air pressure and paint flow. The precision required for airbrush work naturally develops focus and attention to detail.

Art and Creative Projects

The 2-ounce capacity makes this cup ideal for larger art assignments like poster-sized illustrations, canvas paintings, or multi-layer stencil work. Students can create professional-looking artwork for science fair displays, history presentations, or creative writing projects. The lid feature allows students to pause their work and return to it later without waste, making it perfect for projects that span multiple days.

Cross-Curricular Applications

In science studies, this cup can hold appropriate materials for demonstrations about air pressure, fluid dynamics, or atomization principles. History students can create authentic-looking aged effects on maps, documents, or three-dimensional models of historical buildings. Geography lessons become more engaging when students airbrush topographical features on relief maps or create weather effect demonstrations.

Practical Life Skills

Using this professional tool teaches responsibility for equipment care and the value of quality tools. Students learn to clean thoroughly between colors, properly store materials, and understand how professional artists and craftspeople approach their work. These lessons extend beyond art into general problem-solving and attention to detail.
