Decided against the cheapie harbor Freight Paasche knock-off and compressor. I have an old testors(aztek?) that just needs a new bottle (side feed) and propellant can, and will play with that until I get a better one ina month or so (when the IRS sees fit to get my money here.. mailed it Feb 3, and they say it will be mailed Mar 10 to me, and I should get it "by April 7"). I plan to use part of that to purchase a better air-brush and compressor. I will probably get a general purpose compressor and either a Paasche or Badger. I will proably get it at Michael's when the 50% off coupons run.... is there anything I need to get to go with a general compressor apart from a moisture trap to make it work with an airbrush? (i.e. connection adapter, etc)?
Is the Campbell at Wal-mart any good?
Thanks for all the help here.. by the way, the Fairlane is on the way to being fixed.. I have a friend who gave me a POS broken up duster kit in a platic bag.. guess what... only good part is a passenger side A-pillat in the body.. cut it out, trim it, sand it, CA it to the DRIVER side of the Fairlane...
the little piece can befabbed with wire or maybe even the windsheild wiper... I think it just might work....
I am really thankful for all the tips and the community here! You guys are great!!!
