Converting a Compressor into an Airbrush Compressor
Posted by Matt90 on Sunday, September 4, 2005 5:31 PM
Hello! Is it possible to convert a household compressor, the kind you use to inflate beach toys and aerobeds, into an airbrush compressor? I don't see a problem with attaching an airbrush hose to it, but has anyone else tried this?

An airbrush isn't picky about how it gets its air. As long as you can 1) Get the airbrush connected with no leaks, 2) Get enough volume and pressure, and 3) Control the pressure in some way it see no reason why it wouldn't work.

I use a 15-gallon Sears compressor that has a tank pressure of 150 psi. Pressure at the hose is regulated down for airbrushing, obviously.
