Hi,

Got my airbrush today - looks good quality but have a problem.

Was planning to use my girlfriends compressor from her professional tanning kit. The compressor is more than up to the job but the thread on the hose is different to the airbrush thread (see pics). Can I buy a convertor or can I buy a new connector to add to the hose? (my girlfriends not fussed if I chop the orginal conector off as she never uses her spray tanner)

I picked up a Braided Air hose (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=95813) at harbor freight a while back. First off it is much better than the crappy plastic one I had and it came with a couple of adapter fittings that allowed me to use a bigger AB that someone gave me but was unable to use for a similar reason. You might even find just the adaptor there if you look around.

You need one of these adapters and it will work fine.
