I'd preferably like to find something under $130. The only requirement is that it has a air tank ( don't care what size the tank is as long as at least 1L )

thanks in advance!

This is the one I got:
Timbertech Airbrush Kit with Compressor, Double Action Airbrush Gun and Accessories (Nozzles, Hose etc.)
Cheap, with all the elements, and so far I'm happy.

The general recommendation is to start with something cheap until you decide you want more, and when you learn to clean it properly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819194/11828958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819194/11828958.page GMT What is a good airbrush compressor on a budget?

That's the current style of one I have. I was looking for one with the tank that could hold more air, but I was looking at a lot of resellers around me and it seems like I can get this style for pretty cheap ( sub $50 ) from return sellers inbox. The reason why I want one with the tank is so that way I can crank PSI up to 30 while actually using the airbush. Ones like the one I have build up a static pressure of 30 psi but can only sustain like 20 psi when actually spraying with the airbrush. I know this is super Overkill, but it seems like for the price it would be really good, plus if I just turn it on beforehand and let it fill all the way up, it has more than enough air to last me the entire session. I need to get a new smaller pressure gauge to install for more Precision, but I think it would be pretty decent. What do you guys think?

If you're on a really tight budget, you can add a tank to the compressor you already have. I have one made from a gas cylinder for a camping stove.


I looked into doing that but unfortunately the compressor I have can't start Under Pressure
thanks for the advice anyway though!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819194/11829137.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/819194/11829137.page GMT
