Replace worn needles to restore your VL airbrush's precision control

Needle damage ends more airbrush sessions than running out of paint. These precision-machined replacements restore your Paasche VL to factory performance, with three sizes matched to fluid viscosity rather than forcing compromises. Small needles (VLN 1) handle inks and dyes that require fine atomization. Medium needles (VLN 3) work with standard acrylics and watercolors. Large needles (VLN 5) manage thicker paints and primers without clogging or inconsistent spray patterns.

Each needle ships with a green plastic tip protector that prevents the critical point from bending during storage or transport, remove it before installation to avoid confusion during assembly. Paasche manufactures these needles to exacting tolerances; individual inspection ensures each one seats properly in the corresponding tip assembly and maintains the precise clearances that control spray characteristics.

Keep spare needles on hand for your most-used viscosity range. Switching between projects becomes faster when you can grab a fresh needle rather than cleaning thoroughly between paint types. Corresponding tips and head assemblies are available separately, allowing you to maintain complete backup sets for uninterrupted workflow during production deadlines or multi-day projects.
