Get Started

Plamojet is built to make creation more accessible. As part of that mission, we offer cordless marker airbrush systems that help model builders, miniature painters, 3D print hobbyists, and creative makers start spraying with less setup and less cleanup.

This guide will help you understand how to use the Ezo Spray Pro Cordless Marker Airbrush System, what it is best for, and how to get better results from your first spray session.

1. What This System Is For

Ezo Spray Pro Cordless Marker Airbrush System is designed for quick, marker-based spray work. It is a practical tool for:

  • Model kits and Gunpla
  • Miniatures and terrain
  • 3D printed parts
  • Stencil work
  • Soft gradients and shading
  • Weathering and touch-ups
  • Creative hobby projects

It helps you get an airbrush-style effect without setting up a traditional compressor, hose, paint cup, thinner, and full cleanup routine.

It is not intended to fully replace a traditional professional airbrush for every use case, especially very fine detail work or advanced paint-mixing workflows.

2. What Makes Ezo Spray Pro Different

Ezo Spray Pro is designed for users who want smoother control, stronger cordless airflow, and a more adjustable marker holder than entry-level marker airbrush systems.

Key features include:

  • Cordless marker airbrush operation
  • Charging with the included USB-A to USB-C cable
  • Built-in rechargeable battery
  • Interchangeable multi-slot marker holder
  • Support for compatible marker shapes
  • Quick color switching by changing markers
  • Less cleanup between color changes

For best results, use the compatible alcohol-based markers listed on the product page.

3. Before You Start

Before your first spray session:

  • Charge the air pump
    Use the included USB-A to USB-C cable with a standard 5V/1A USB wall adapter. Allow approximately 3 hours for a full charge. Do not use USB-C to USB-C cables, laptop chargers, or 9V/12V fast chargers.
  • Use compatible markers
    For the best fit and spray performance, use Plamojet dual-tip alcohol markers designed for Ezo Spray Pro. Do not use water-based markers, acrylic markers, or markers that fit loosely in the holder. Third-party alcohol markers must fit securely and should be tested on a scrap surface first.
  • Prepare your surface
    Make sure your model part, miniature, stencil surface, or 3D printed part is clean and dry. For plastic or PLA surfaces, primer can help improve adhesion and durability.
  • Work in a ventilated area
    Use only in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate respiratory protection when spraying. Never point the airbrush at people or animals, and do not use it while charging.
  • Test before spraying your final project
    Test spray on paper, cardboard, or a spare part first. This helps you check color strength, spray distance, and marker position.

4. How to Use It

  • Step 1: Connect and Insert Align the air pump with the airbrush connector and turn clockwise to tighten.
    Insert a compatible marker into the holder, secure it with the upper clip, and make sure the marker is fully seated and correctly aligned with the nozzle.
  • Step 2: Power On and Start Spraying Press the power button to turn on the air pump, then press the trigger to start spraying.
    Start with short test sprays to check the spray distance, coverage, and marker alignment.
  • Step 3: Spray Move the airbrush smoothly across the surface. For softer gradients, keep your hand moving and build color gradually in light layers.
    For stronger coverage, spray slightly closer or apply multiple light passes. Avoid staying in one spot for too long, as this may cause uneven color buildup.

5. Tips for Better Results

  • Start with light layers instead of heavy coverage.
  • Keep the airbrush moving for smoother gradients.
  • Test each color before using it on your final project.
  • Adjust the marker tip position if the spray is uneven.
  • Use primer on plastic, resin, or PLA surfaces for better adhesion.
  • Let the ink dry before layering other hobby paints.
  • Apply a clear coat if you want better durability on non-porous surfaces.

6. Changing Colors

One of the main advantages of a marker-based airbrush workflow is quick color switching.
To change colors:

  • Stop spraying.
  • Remove the current marker.
  • Insert another compatible marker.
  • Test spray briefly.
  • Continue working.

Unlike traditional airbrushing, you do not need to clean a paint cup between every color change.

7. Cleaning and Storage

The marker-based system reduces cleanup, but basic care is still important.

After use:

  • Turn off the air pump, then remove the marker from the holder.
  • Cap the marker tightly to prevent drying.
  • Wipe the exterior of the nozzle with a clean, dry cloth. If ink remains, gently clean the exterior with an alcohol wipe.
  • Store the airbrush and markers in a clean, dry place.
  • Avoid unnecessary removal and reinstallation of the marker holder or air pump, as frequent disassembly may wear the connector threads.

Do not rinse, soak, or submerge the air pump. Do not allow alcohol, ink, water, or cleaning liquid to enter the nozzle, air passage, charging port, or air pump.

8. Common First-Use Questions

Why is the spray weak or uneven?

Check whether the marker is inserted correctly. Marker tip position can affect ink flow. Make sure the marker is not dried out and that the pump is charged.

Can I use paint markers?

No. Ezo Spray Pro is designed for compatible alcohol-based ink markers only. Paint markers and other marker types may not spray properly and are not recommended.

Can I use liquid chrome markers?

No. Ezo Spray Pro is not compatible with liquid chrome markers or mirror chrome paint markers. For best results, use the compatible alcohol-based ink markers.

Can I use it on 3D prints or PLA?

Yes. It can be used on 3D prints and PLA surfaces. For better adhesion and longer-lasting results, clean the surface first and apply primer before coloring.

Is it good for fine detail work?

It is better suited for gradients, shading, blending, base coats, stencil work, and broader color effects. It is not recommended for very fine detail lines.

Do I still need ventilation?

Yes. Use only in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate respiratory protection when spraying.

9. Best Projects to Try First

If this is your first time using the Ezo Spray Pro, start with simple projects such as:

  • Gradient practice on paper or cardboard
  • Shading on spare model parts
  • Stencil patterns
  • Light weathering effects
  • Base color on small 3D printed parts
  • Soft color transitions on miniatures or terrain pieces

Start small, test often, and build color slowly.

10. Final Tip

Ezo Spray Pro offers a faster, lower-hassle way to start spray-based color work.

Use it as a practical companion tool for model kits, miniatures, 3D prints, stencils, gradients, and creative projects.

Less setup. Less cleanup. More time creating.
