compressor question

Compressor selection has been a big topic on the Painting and Airbrushing forum.  Folk might read recent posts there to see what folks have been saying in that forum.

Check out Sears Craftsman 2hp 150psi 4gal pancake compressors, main pressure gauge and adjustable regulator pressure gauge built in will cost you considerably less than any one that will state for air-brush use. Main use would be for air nail guns, but perfect for air-brush use and don't cost an arm & leg.

Take Care!

If you can stretch your money to get a compressor with a tank do it. Makes a big difference.

Just so I understand correctly, you bought this model in particular (TC-16) and it works well, or a different model?

I bought one from TCP Global and it works good enough for me.

Thanks. I should have mentioned that the link I provided was to amazon, but the compressor is a TCP Global compressor. Just wanted to make sure it was powerful enough for airbrushing.

TCP Global has decent air compressors as well. Go to: www.tcpglobal.com

Hi Mike! Can't answer your specific question, but, if you post it to the Painting section of the Forums you will probably get the answer you're looking for.

If you have a Harbour Freight near you, they have a few cheap compressors with attached 3 gallon tanks that I've heard do a very respectable job.

Hope this helps.
