				<title>&quot;airbrush compressor&quot; vs compressor</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I just picked up my first airbrush, pretty standard lower-end model iwata top feed dual action deal. I'm now trying to figure out compressors. Looking around online i see a lot listed as airbrush compressors for between $80 - $300. But my local harbor freight has regular old pancake compressors on sale all the time for $30ish. Now obviously price tends to indicate quality of construction at least to some extent, so my question isn't about that. My question is do you need a special airbrush listed compressor rather than a generic one, or are there advantages to those over the standard compressors you can find at any hardware store?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ What's important is that the compressor has a tank and water trap.  If you don't have a tank, the air (and therefore paint) will oscillate with the action of the piston in the compressor and it'll be very difficult to do anything other than priming/basecoating/varnishing.  You need a water trap because the act of compressing & decompressing air causes water in vapor form to condense.  If you don't have a trap, you'll get droplets of water into your airflow that will blow onto your model and mess up the paint.  <br /> <br /> The other big difference between airbrush-specific and general-use compressors is noise.  Airbrush compressors are generally much quieter and therefore more suitable for use indoors.  Finally, if you get a hardware store compressor, you'll need to find fittings to adapt to your airbrush because the hoses are generally larger than those on airbrush-specific compressors.  That said, you may need adapters anyway (not all airbrush compressor hoses are compatible with all airbrushes) and they're typically easy & cheap to get on Amazon.<br /> <br /> Hope that helps.<br /> <br /> ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ One thing to keep in mind is compressors need air so no matter what you get dont put it in a cupboard or something like that to try keep it quiet as it might get hot or not get sufficient air and could cause problems<br /> ]]></description>

				<title>&quot;airbrush compressor&quot; vs compressor</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Unless you are painting in the garage, and are ok going deaf I would NOT suggest using the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(336);'>HF</span> compressor (fine for garage, not airbrushing).<br /> <br /> You want an actual airbrush (or other really small one ) compressor that you can adjust pressure on easily, and that has a moisture trap as mentioned above.<br /> <br /> now, the good news - the harbor freight airbrush compressor is not bad.  I used one for a few years before upgrading.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks everyone. I went with the advice given above and snagged the harbor freight airbrush compressor. They had a coupon for 20% off this weekend, so got it for a steal.]]></description>
