Just curious because its seems knowing little about airbrushes and compressors when i bought mine, my compressor doesn't have a regulator so i'm gonna have a friend help me out with attaching one to mine.

20 PSI normally, 15 if I'm doing something delicate.

Depending on the airbrush, recommended PSI is usually between 7 and 20. I tend to run mine between 9 to 15 PSI.

Depends on airbrush and what type of paint I use and how close I need to go to the surface painted. So between 10-25-ish.

Usually ran mine at 20-25 psi.
Haven't done so in a while as I don't have anywhere to plug my compressor in (it's electric) as it has to go outside and we have no external points.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).

This makes me wonder if I am running mine too high. I run mine around 40 psi usually. At lower psi, i had blips and blobs come out too often.
