Thanks Bill, It is if I do say so myself. Cool [8D] Now I have to figure out some venting system. Right now I got the garage door open and shopfan pulling fumes out. But if it were any warmer i'd lose AC and interest. Not going to break sweet painting a model.

12-15.  got it, thanks again Bill. I'll dial it down and see how it works.

Wow, sounds like a great setup!

I have a Badger 150 (dual action siphon feed) and I use between 12-15 psi.

Enjoy your Fourth!

Bill 

So long folks!

Airbrush PSI
Posted by Moon Puppy on Wednesday, July 4, 2007 9:14 AM

I'm so lucky. The house we bought 2 years ago had a detached garage. The previous owners used it for a Framing Shop. They had a 50 gal air compressor with electic motor that was salvaged from an old gas station. I've rewired and cleaned up, drained and lubed.  

So I've picked up modeling again and clean out my old Badger 200NH. Installed a water trap and regulator on the compressor hookup, while leaving high pressure quick connect in place also. I have 130 lb psi coming off the compressor, I got the regulator dailed down to 25 lb psi, high and low gauges installed (such a geek). Used quick connect for my airbrush hose, so kewl...

I know on the new hose I got that it is rated at 40psi so I should be able to get more than that out of it, but the old diapham compressor I use to use gets no where near that (I don't think). Finally here's the question. What PSI should I have for my Badger 200nh?
