It looks like a dog or something :eek7: i have a Paasche 1/500. its the only airbrush compressor ive ever owned and i love it. dont know anything about this... how much are they asking for it? that would help.

145 USD

how much are they asking for it? that would help.

My Paasche was $100 and i highly recomend it as well as others on this forum. It is very well made. it has never let me down. I think $145 is a bit much for a hobby compressor. you still have to buy a regulator, water trap as well so your looking at $200+. I dont think its worth it but i dont know who makes it either but looks generic. shop around!

Thanks :)

what exactly is a water trap? hmmmmmmm might trap water but thats all i can think of, help my dumb ass out. Also i plan on buyin one also, is a aztek a good one?

as air is compressed, there is moisture produced, this can be hazardous to the paint mixture, a moisture trap, goes inline with the air hose and does exactly that, traps the air that could ruin the paint mixture

Do you live in the US? I would go to WalMart and get a 1hp 2gal Campbell Hausfeld compressor. They are about $70-80 US and get a moisture trap for about $15.

Pep Boys sells a similar Coleman compressor for $59 after $10 rebate.

Yup, i'd defenitely go with a compressor that has a tank. Its better to work in the silence with the airbrush. I have a 3 gallon 1.5 HP 125PSI Craftsman Air Compressor that costed me $150 USD with a 2 year warranty. I myself wouldn't go with "airbrush compressors".

Wouaf... I agree... Woua wouaf... for the dog thing... Wouaf... and for the Paasche being a good bet, because I've never heard of this puppy like compressor... Wouf. :rofl:

I myself, am a quiet kind and go for the tank compressor too... well, it's quiet when it don't run at least.
