Iwata - Washing Brush

Washing Brush

Gently scrub paint from gravity-feed color cups without scratching

Dried paint accumulates in gravity-feed color cups faster than you'd expect, especially in corners where the cup meets the airbrush body. This washing brush reaches those problem areas with soft bristles that clean thoroughly without scratching delicate aluminum surfaces or damaging the cup's finish. The round design matches the contours of typical gravity-feed cups, letting bristles contact the entire interior surface rather than missing curved edges.

Iwata designed these bristles to be firm enough for effective cleaning yet gentle enough for repeated use on precision equipment. The brush removes both wet and partially dried paint, making it effective whether you're doing quick color changes mid-session or end-of-day cleanup. Regular use with this brush prevents the paint buildup that eventually affects spray patterns and requires aggressive cleaning methods.

The compact size works inside small color cups without excessive force, while the handle provides enough length for comfortable control during cleaning. Keep one dedicated to your airbrush station for maintenance that takes seconds rather than minutes between colors.
