 Hey everybody, it's DJ B and unfortunately we are here making this video today I made the commitment to become a full-time artist based on painting commissions and Not a day Before I was scheduled to like quit my job and become full-time My airbrush compressor broke $500 later Here we are This is the compressor that I've been using since 2017. It has survived the five-year model horse customizing journey, which is kind of nuts considering I only paid like a hundred dollars for this And this compressor worked fine I was having issues with my airbrush in general and I was starting to feel like it was linked to the compressor itself I kind of just lived with it So then I went down the rabbit hole because I wasn't sure what route to go I didn't necessarily want to buy another $100 Amazon one because now I'm sure that airbrushing is gonna be in my life for a long time So you can go with the fancy Iwata ones or you can pay more for a master one But the master one was no different than this one. You need one of these So I don't know if this is going to be the solution yet. It should last longer It should be more consistent in the pressure It's outputting as well and they come in larger tank sizes I went with the three-gallon which is the biggest in the Makita brand here I believe that this is gonna be a little bit louder than this, but I paid the extra money So like quite a bit more to have the quiet compressor Let's open it and see what it looks like and if it's horribly terrible. I'm feeling fine because I can return it It's huge. Oh, it's heavy It's really heavy. I have no idea if it's gonna fit because I know nothing about these things that does fit The manual is not helpful in a process and a half There is no resource on the internet explaining exactly what you need to make this thing work I've been to Home Depot twice now. I was asking the people there. They had no clue. Here we are another like $50 down I ordered this moisture trap off of amazon It happened to come with the right adapter piece to connect to the hose And then I needed a quick release adapter for the hose tape in case there's a leak pipe thread sealant tape and Now that I think of it, I'm not actually sure I need these at all So I'm gonna try and set it up and see what happens. I had to buy a new cable. I bought this hose Because this hose was no good. So I also banished it to the corner over here I'm like not sure about the noise level So i'm just like not sure in general about this whole thing I have no idea why I didn't think you couldn't buy a straight one As far as I can tell this is gonna run for a really long time before it kicks in I'm not gonna run out of it overkill for what you actually need in the studio But this is might exactly be what I need in the studio because now I can spray With consistent pressure these things are always so great once you figure them out. It just takes so much Energy and expense and research and all the things to like get going And so that's why I like doing the videos because I am saving you all of the heartache and pain and suffering That I've just gone through and I will explain all of the things here So this is working spray for like Five minutes. I don't think this will be an issue at all. So now I can hook it up
