Someone who explained compressor setup and moisture condensation in compressed air setup CORRECTLY! My hats off to you.

Absolutely the best how to set up your shop compressor for airbrushing guide for beginners! This should be the standard how-to guide.

Terrific video! Instead of screwing the air hose to the regulator inlet, I installed a female quick-connect in the regulator inlet, letting me use an air hose with a male quick-connect. Second, you don't need to completely drain the tank on the compressor after using it, they're fine if you leave them full. Just crack the drain valve for a second or two before and after using to drain any built-up condensation in the bottom of the tank. Finally, it's more convenient for me to leave the regulator on the compressor high (say, 75PSI or even more), and then adjust the small regulator near the airbrush to the pressure I want the airbrush to see. That way if I want to change pressure, it's right there at my workstation.

You helped SOOO much I have a $76 little baby airbrush machine 😑 didn’t realize that I would sit there for hours and it would over heat bc it isn’t meant for that 😅 so I just got an 8gal Kolbolt compressor and I have no clue what I even needed .. so now I know what I need to buy so i appreciate you explaining everything 😊

You can unscrew the red collar and use it to attach to the wall fitting with the gauge facing outwards.

i've been searching for compressor guides in months and i can't believed i just saw this one, its so simple but very very knowledgable and easy to understand THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[AwkwardBirb]

Aaaaah!! This is the EXACT video I needed at the start of my airbrushing journey. Hopefully this will help future artists not mess up as much as I did 😂

[Beholderguitars]

Thank you for this outstanding and very informative instruction. You answered many questions my local hobby store and hardware stores couldn't answer.

Great video. One thing for your viewers that want to do this on a double port compressor and run tools without wearing out their arms or regulator knob is to buy a trap with a regulator rated to your normal pressure.
Doing that should allow you to set your pressure at the tank to the normal pressure for your air tools while adjusting at the trap down to the eighth inch hose and airbrush limit.

This video is great. As someone who spent $90 on various connections and hoses (none of which worked 😅), the video did a great job explaining the differences in sizes and threading of all the connections. 1/8 to 1/8 hose will be here tomorrow

[dougwegner]

Thank you so much. Great at explaining. I am trying to get set up with my little 1hp, 1 gal Senco compressor with a Paasche for now. And, everyone has been telling me you can't get a 1/4 NPT(national pipe thread)-1/8 BSP(British standard Pipe). Paasche has a little tiny threads on air brush, and 1/4 NPT on other end. Where I guess all the other air brushes have 1/8 bsp-1/8bsp on their hoses. My compressor takes 1/4 NPT.

[krzysztofkurdziel]

Great video. I bought rather oversized compressor myself, but with built in moisture trap and quick release going out from it. It turns out you can get airbrush hose with female 1/8 on one side and female 1/4 on the other, so all I had to do is get male 1/4 quick release, srew it in and be done.

[HartfordWhaler]

Great video. I just did the exact same thing for my model railroad airbrushing. Great setup.

[matthewmcmillan]

Super informative. Love the shoes. 10/10

[kaminarimizu]

Wow. You're incredible. Your attention to detail and making sure we understand you is very impressive.
Thank you for this video.

[AndrevwZA]

Very clear and comprehensive info.
You must look into 1/8" quick releases with built in air valves. Then you do not need to adjust the wall mounted gauge. I'm sure by this time you do not need to know the exact air pressure you are spraying at. Harder & Steenbeck and Grex makes great ones. If you install the small watertrap before your small quick release, you can use it on both airbrushes, not just the Micron. On the video the compressor sound quite loud. I have a compressor with the same motor and can say that is is not as loud as it seems. For years I painted in the room right next to the bedroom while my wife was sleeping.

I have the same Makita compressor, as I use it for woodworking and am just starting airbrushing. Nice too see someone with the same idea, I also use an additional slave tank, just so it barely kicks on at all.

[scottebeller]

I build models and I've been using a 8 gallon quite compressor and love it. So I totally agree with you.

[andrewharris]

Love your explanation 👍

Just one tip for you - you can add more tape (trial and error though) to the moisture trap pressure dial fitting/thread so it will face you to then be able to remove the need for a mirror to see the pressure at the air brush end.

[gamehulk]

Perfect video. Finally a video that explains the adapters and their threads. Thanks!!!
