picklejr02 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 i know that some companies put out their own small airbrush comp., does size matter. as long as i would be able to control the airflow to the brush on the regulator valve is this correct?

blueshark Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 you can get a small one that stays on all the time...and adjust the pressure easily... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportyguy33 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Keep in mind You don't need a Airbrush Compressor to run your airbrush. I use a Makita Twin stack. I mentioned it because you can use the Makita or any other construction air compressors for other things too and it won't run constantly . But if space or is a concern then the dedicated airbrush compressor may be what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabman Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Like Sporty said, any shop compressor, large or small, can be used for an airbrush as well as a dedicated small airbrush compressor. The regulator controls your air pressure. On mine, I have a remote regulator by my spray booth. When airbrushing, I hook my regular 50' shop compressor hose to the regulator with a quick disconnect and I'm airbrushing. All pressure regulation for the airbrush is done right there at the spray booth with the remote regulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
