airbrush compressor advice
 

Hi Im hoping someone will be able to advise here. I've been using and airbrush for painting my shells for years but i've only ever used the cans of 'air' instead of a compressor. Now ive got right proper fed up with the cackness of these cans so i thinking of getting a small compressor. so what is good one for the guy who paints probably only 6 or so shells a year? ive seen some cheapy ones on ebay but i just dont believe they could be any good...
cheers
Matt

check this site mate good supplier and prices too , get all my stuff from them too cheers g :thumbsup:

Sorry to partially hi-jack but I'm after an airbrush and compressor to spray Faskolor/Createx paint. Would this one be suitable? http://www.everythingairbrush.com/ac...IT_AB_130.html

yes mate i use that compressor and its about3 years old and never let me down at all for createx and faskolour , id go for the 180 airbrush if you casn get it in the deal

thx for the link, Blitz-man, but could you also give some pointers on what type of compressor he would need: pressure, volume of the airtank, ...?

lowie that mini compressor will do the job mate the pressure is adjustable on the compressor and its done me fine

how noisey is it? my comp with tank, sounds, well, like a tank when it is filling up the reservoir.

na man don t need that , i can watch the telly in the other room with out the volume turned up its well quiet man

blitzboy, are you watering down the Faskolor/Createx? Also, what PSI do you spray them at?

does it not get a tad warm then, spraying, it must be running a good part of the time?

running all day mate and has been brilliant never let me down in 2 years :thumbsup:

thinks I might have to invest in one of them, then fella, stop my neighbours complaining about the compressor noise!!!

let put it this way mate i live in flats and have 4 other fneighbours and i ve never been moaned at once , go for it its worth it

well, got some shells to do, paypal, woohoo... make my life a lot easier.

....

yes mate but im not using water i use Mr mussle window cleaner dude its the future 70%paint 30% window cleaner max and psi is kept the same always as i ve got pressure adjust ment in my air brush :thumbsup:

why the window cleaner, Blitz?
AFAIK you can use the fascolor paint as is, no?

window cleaner thins the paint down for fine detail work like fading ,faskolour as it is , is ok but will splatt if its thik when your doing fine fading. plus window lene dries quickly when its in the paint water won t dry as quick

Might I ask what other things you used before finding out window cleaner worked?

did try water but thats all mate Mr muscle wndow cleaner is the best , there is other stuff you can buy but window cleaner is cheaper :thumbsup:its the future guys
