Begginer plz help
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, July 25, 2005 10:19 AM
OK, well I have been wanting to get an airbrush for a long time so I can experience painting on something different. I'am a very good artist with a pencil. But I would like to know if this would help me out in airbrushing, because i do not want to spend like 200 dollars and suck at it. Im planning to get the Vega 2000 and the Paasche D500 compressor. Please help.

Hello Miguel,

I don't have any experience with the Vega 2000, but I use the Paasche D500 compressor. It's loud and gets hot quickly, and unless things have changed since I bought mine years ago you'll need a water trap and pressure regulator. Those items are pretty much a necessity for using a compressor and weren't included with mine.

The Paasche will work, but for the money you would probably be better served with a different compressor. If you search this forum, you'll find recommendations from others. Since I've only used the Paasche, I'm not really in the position to suggest what to get.

Hope this helps,

Mark
