Hi guys,

I want to buy an airbrush, someone got a Badger 200 to sell. I have a compressor at my home. Do I need something special to plug the badger to the compressor or it will works for sure without the need to buy anything else?

Is the badger is a good airbrush? I'm not sure I will use it to paint bodies, only want to use it for little piece, interior and window trims.

THanks for your help!

As for what you need. If your compressor have a regulator, it's perfect. If you work in a very humid place, you will need a moisture trap. Maybe some fitting, but you will see once you have your airbrush which size you need. Any hardware store will have them.
