I recently got a compressor from my moms boyfriend and figured i would get an airbrush. I think i decided on a paasche talon. Just wonder if it would be a ok brush to startwith.

I have a talon. I like it.

Talon is a good airbrush from reading the specs. It will last you a long time if you take care of it. I would recommend Iwata, seeing I have always had one and they last forever. But your choice will be fine..

I absolutely love my Talon.

I started less than a year ago with a Pasch Talon and I think it was a good choice for a newcomer. Iwata are supposed to be superior ( and I think they are ) but more costly, too costly to start with I think.

I wonder if you guys know a good pressure regulator i could us on my compressor since it is lacking one.

I use a basic model with oil collector to remove any trace of oil or water. So far it looks okay. The pressure setting is not really precise but after a few tries I am able to set it how I need. You just need to remember that you have to spray at least some air to have a lecture on the regulator.

Sounds pretty straight foreward then.

a €140 airbrush?? damn!
i have to get used to it a little bit more before i will spend that kind of money

I am not sure where is available in your area but just about any internal mix dual action airbursh is good to start with.

If you can get to a harborfreight you should be able to pick up a regualrator/moisture trap and a brush for cheap.

Mess with that for a while, then upgrade to a better brush...

best of luck!!!!

I figured out that i am going to need a tank and was thinking of just getting a craftsman 5 gallon tank and get a dual port for it. Think i could make it work?

I have the 12 gallon craftsman and its loud as hell.. There not made to be quite, but will work with out any issues..

I just need a tank not a compressor.

If its just a tank then your fine, how are you going to fill it? Do you have a compressor to fill it?

Yeah got a 5 gallon one like 20minutes ago and have a compressor but going to fill it after i do the small plumbing changes on my dads big compressor then use my dinky one to top it off.
