[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by bikerraypa [ Also, I didn't waste money on a compressor. I got one of those portable air tanks that are meant to be used on flat tires. Fill 'er up to 90 pounds or so and add a cheap pressure regulator, and you're ready to roll. It lasts a long time, and can be "recharged" from the big compressor in the garage, or down at the gas station for a quarter. [/quote] That's one of the most backward suggestions that I have ever heard re using an airbrush! For $75-100 you can get a home compresssor with a tank that is always available, always has an unlimited supply of air. Using a refillable tank means lugging it back and forth regularly to get it filled. Run out of air when there are no outside services available? What do you do - wait until the next day? The only way I can see this is practical is if you live in an apartment and the possibility of the noise from a compressor being a problem. A compressor is as an important item to own as an airbrush.
