I just thought it was a funny idea. That seems more like an idea soembody would be trying to sell on ebay rather than a large corporation?

Yep, had one of those many years ago. Works great for a few minutes, then you have to pump up the tire again - I think I actually wore out a foot pump that way. And another thing, the air from inside the tire smells like used kitty litter. Dead [xx(] 

It is a cheap alternative though.

Like Mike said, they aren't worth the effort.  I've got one around here somewhere that I've had for years. The adapter fits onto the Propel Can Adapter and then the airbrush connects to it, so you have to have that can adapter / regulator.  You also have to have a hose with the small connector on the end.  Once you have everything hooked up, and a spare tire sitting around for you to trip over, you'll get about 10 minutes or so of spraying before the 32 psi in the tire is too low to use.

Those have been around for years, don't waste your money.
A car tire doesn't have the volume to do much painting unless you are doing 1/72 scale WWII kits. Wink [;)]

Some of you may have seen this before, but its a new one on me. Seems like a good idea anyway?



Would work good if you had a tire off a Caterpillar 637 Scraper to hook it to. Laugh [(-D]
