Another compressor quesiton

From my garage to my work area in the basement it is about 20'.  All it would take would be two holes in the wall and a 20' airhose.

Be careful...You airtool compressor could be operating at a max of around 150psi, and PVC (especially old and/or cracked pipes) might not like so much pressure. Also, make sure any airbrush regulators you have can operate at 150psi...

I like the hose suggestion as well.  for some reason I didn;t think of that.  The hose will probably be about as expensive as the extra tank.  Thanks guys!

I agree about running a long airhose to the basement if possible.

If you can't then that 10 gallon tank will work but your air supply will be limited depending on what you are painting. At 20 psi I would guess you could easily spray a 1/48 scale model no problem and may even have enough air left over for cleaning, but that depends on how long you spray.  

Ditto the long hose or plumbing method. I used the long hose method for a while until I placed my spray booth in a more permanent location. A couple of quick connects, the appropriate length of hose and a couple minutes of time to roll out/roll up the hose each session and voila, a steady air supply! Place the water trap at the "business" end just before the airbrush gets connected and you're done.
