Wow, <br /> <br />200 psi?! Like Orsonroy said, the pressures you will be working with on an airbrush will be in the neighborhood of 20 or less. I only got up to 20 psi when I used the old floquil lacquers back in the day. Even the testors enamels can easily be sprayed at 15-20. You will need to get a really good quality regulator, and I mean one that can read 1 psi or 2 psi increments. Personally, if you are serious about this, I would consider a two stage regulator when airbrushing. One to get down into the ball park then one to make minute increments. Plus, make sure you use a braided airbrush hose and not those cheap plastic/rubber ones. <br /> <br />
