What ever solution you go by, Compressor/Car Tire/Canned Air, make sure that you have a water separator on your main air line. Compressing air means that you are pressing water out of it and you really don't want that water to spit out in ugly stains.

There is a small adapter from badger to get that allows it to attatch. A bike tire is too small however to provide enough volume to spray for more than a few seconds. A car or light truck tire is what you need. It's how I got started A/Bing more than 15 years ago.

Sorry, even with the correct connection, a bicycle inner tube will not provide the proper pressure for the length of time necessary to spray.  The volume simply isn't great enough.

bicycle tire powered airbrush?
Posted by Maxwell on Sunday, June 3, 2007 6:00 PM

I tried to connect my Badger 360 airbrush to an inner tube of a bicycle tire (those standard ones from Wal Mart) and it didn't work. They are not compatible.

So I guess tires cannot be used to power airbrushes huh? I always thought otherwise. Or is it just the Badger 360?

Are the air input connection for airbrushes standard?

 

Thanks
