I'm one of the people who just does a few Gundams here and there, so I appreciate you pointing that out right at the start. Still gave a like just for that bit of courtesy!

Dude, I ignored your video when initially doing research on airbrush compressors, but I ended up with the same conclusion you just explained. Brilliant.

[AAWOLFE-zcly]

SIR, I want to thank you...
your videos have got me back into airbrushing.

i use to air brush back in the late 80s i was 20 years old, and painted in Patrick Nagel style...

this video helped me so much in getting a real compressor that i don't have to stop every 30 min to let it cool down... bought a Zugzwang Silent Air Compressor Oil Free 1 HP 3 Gallon, its a bit heavy but dang does it full up fast and hold plenty...

thank you. looking to learn some dif techniques from your videos... Patrick Nagel was fun but I want to try something new...

I just picked up my first airbrush compressor. I love it because the wife don't yell at me when it kicks on. I've been painting a couple decades and have bigger compressors in the shop that run anything from big spray guns to powertools. So yeah if you have no compressor, get one that has some power. But if you're all set there, Nothing wrong with throwing a buck and a half at something for your little home studio that keep your wife happy.

I went to the scrap yard and pulled three (just in case) compressor units from trashed refrigerators. All three worked, and I built silent compressors with them. Used scrapped fire extinguishers/freon tanks for the air tanks. They work amazing.

Hello there, 2 year airbrusher here, I am here to approve everything this guy says. I started with a cheap compressor without a tank and the most annoying thing that can only happen to you is your airbrush losing pressure over time. Please don't torture yourselves like I did, buy a decent compressor 100$ is not that much of a big deal.

This was an excellent video that helped me to make the best decision for my business, as I have read hundreds of comments regarding the frustrations of those who purchase brand-name airbrush compressors, only to find themselves frustrated by having purchased something that either constantly runs and makes noise, doesn't supply a decent amount of pressure, or lacks the features that make airbrushing enjoyable. Well done.

I too thought “One of those Shock value Naysayers”, but you’re right! For a bit less money I got a 2 gallon, 120 psi, 2.5cfm, quiet 60dB compressor than can run nail gun, fill tires, light duty tools, etc. Thank you!

I purchased a tankless compressor after watching your video the DONT Buy without the tank stuck in my Head I returned it an now I have one with a tank, Thanks Buddy.

[jameshicks]

Totally agree I got one from 20 years ago.i got a refrigerator compresser motor tied to a 5 gallon air tank regulator.

Man I totally agree I have an airbrush compressor sitting in my attic that has been there for who knows how long after realizing the first time I used it that there was clearly not going to be enough air so I now use my 26 gallon craftsman compressor and it’s plenty for what I need. And in the near future even that will be upgraded to a 60 gallon. This is a good video for new buyers getting into air brushing.

I just bought my second California air tool compressor after 7 years with my first one.

[frequentpatient]

Over the past month or two, I've spent hours and hours trying to figure out which compressor I should buy - reading reviews and blogs, watching videos, etc - but I just kept flip-flopping. After watching this video and reading reviews, I'm confidently purchasing the small California Air compressor from your storefront right now. Thank you so much!

[dexterbacchus]

Awesome video I had a Oil compressor. the Best when it comes to Quiet and power, thanks for sharing.

[fossil]

I remember about 30 years ago my Dad made a compressor out of an old fride motor .

[WildlifeTshirts]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thankyou, and thank you. For many reasons, your time, sharing your experience. Thank you.

[fannycobo]

I'm so glad I found d this video. I'm new to airbrushing and was hesitant about purchasing the air compressor. This gave me a better understanding of what I should be looking for not just in the short term but for future projects as well.
I appreciate the recommendations. Thank you for sharing 😊

[zbow]

my compressor with tank was 89 on amazon and i have used it every day for 2 years, it has a built in fan for long term use, i owned that fortress compressor in both 1 gallon which broke in 7 months and the 2 gallon which made it a year with daily use, i will stick to my little 89 dollar compressor thanks.

[spudnickuk]

This is a great little 57Db compressor.
but for most hobbyiest people want to buy smaller and cheaper
And that is to have a small item on the desk,
As for the pro they would be doing it all day, so this is a good product for such.

This has Good price for what you get.
