Hey,
Right now, im doing mostly dry brushing on everything but the chassis and body of my model cars, i have been using tamiya rattle cans to take care of the body/hood/chassis parts, but brushing the rest, I have a cheap testors airbrush, and would use it but cannot afford to pay 15 bucks for a large bottle of brush propellant (im a 16 y/o paper boy, i only make 15 bucks every 2 weeks for petes sake!) right now im saving up to hopefully purchase an air compressor and possibly a badger dual action brush i found at a local hobby shop.
Now, heres the question, my friends dad has a garage full of air propelled tools (ie. impact wrench, nail gun etc..) he has a fairly large compresor to power these tools... now my question is, can i use a smaller compressor much like this,( but a much much smaller version,...much smaller) could i use this tiny "non-hobby" compressor to power my airbrush, as well as use it to pump up bicycle tires etc..??? this would seem like a more logical thing to do instead of spend the same ammount of money on a airbrush only compressor. i would much rather buy a compressor that i can use for more than one thing then spend this much and it will only have 1 purpose... any help?
