Hi mates!

Quick question: what type of compressor are you using for your airbrushes? My old Revell 7600 sounds sort of funny and gets damned hot since a few days. The cooling fan on the motor shaft went loose 🙁
I use a Badger 150 with F and M needles.
I'm looking at the Iwata compressor range right now, but thought it best to get some professional opinions first 😉

A descent compressor makes all the difference!
Not just the finer control of air pressure but also less noise.
I started with a tank-less compressor that was on all the time it was plugged in and that was a pain in the a**. I don't know how I painted with it and I won't ever go back to it again - even if my new compressor breaks.

Shine shoes? No problem at all, let me get my clear gloss 😄
Yep, bought it new. Like Wim said, it's quite a bit of cash I had to shell out. But so far I'm not regretting it as well 🙂 let's see what the years bring 👍

Without a tank... That must be truly annoying. It's always better to have decent hardware.
The Revell wasn't too bad though. Just broke down and was a tad bit too noisy for late evening or early sunday morning sessions...
