  • Brilliant, thanks!!!

  • Also should I choose Oil lubrcated or oil-less?

  • I couldn't care less about noise. I'm really only after the price, smoothness and coolness of airflow, and something I can fit in my garage. I've had so many problems with my airbrush compressor I got for like $70. Low working psi, moisture trap didn't work, there was an unsteady airflow, it was horrible. This sounds like something for me.

    Does anyone recommend any brands in particular? Something not really expensive?

  • Will the Kobalt 120 PSI Electric Air Compressor from Lowes work?

  • hey man is that 3 gall enough to use for auto spray guns

  • @DoubleX31 Wow that's funny Maybe you can tell Cambell Hausfield that or even Sears! Hmmm Oh yeah right maybe yer just used to the Badger which IS the 1/8" fitting or an iwata which is 1/4".

    Standard fittings on a full size compressor is 3/8".

  • @knittycakebaker No, you idiot. Most air compressors have 1/4 inch while airbrush fittings are 1/8 inch.

  • so does this mean that I can use my big compressors that I use for my tools to airbrush with? If I want a really low psi for detail will it be able to give me that psi eg 10 psi? 

  • do u used a water trap? if so what kind?

  • how loud is that compressor cause i dont wanna wake up my parents next door? :/
