Airbrush Compressor Question

lookin into airbrush compressors and ive been wonderin, can i use a badger or pasche compressor w/ a Aztek airbrush? or basically can use use a differnt brand compressor than the airbrush

Yeah, the brand of airbrush and compressor don't matter, they will work fine no matter who makes the one or the other.

I use an Iwata compressor with an Aztek airbrush without any problems.

thanks alot ray:cool:

another question,
whas the average price range for an average compressor, i dont need anything realy fancy, just something that will get the job dont w/o much problems

You can get a decent compressor for around $100 but it totally depends on what you want.

You can even get a compressor at Walmart and it would do the job just fine.

What kind of Iwata compressor do you have? I've been looking to get a compressor to use with my Aztek airbrush (using cans now), and the Iwata Smart Jet looks really good. Anyone else have/used the Smart Jet? Is it worth $250+?

I have a Paasche D500. its great, its only as loud as my air-conditioner so i can paint all night. its maintainance free as well so no oiling. it cost $125. 3-amp 1/10 HP and buts out up to 65PSI. my only complaint is there is no on/off switch. you have to unplug it but they make a footswitch that turns it off and on.

I suggest you get the walmart one for 99 bucks, is the campbell 2gal air compressor. Is a little loud but so is most 100 dollar compressor. But the fact i use it is because it is not just an aircompressor for your airbrush but you can use it for other use around the house if you get the right attachment.

And if you not a serious airbrusher that would be a good deal.

I would suggest also getting a pressure regulator.

It will help with doing detailing work and weathering.
