Compressor for airbrushing
Posted by olequa on Thursday, January 5, 2006 2:56 PM
There are a number of Campbell-Hausfeld model FP2028 compressors available on eBay for $39.99. This appears to be a good compressor for airbrush use. I'm assuming it has an adjustable output pressure only because the description says suitable for airbrushing and the unit has an 'airbrush' label on it.

Here's the link.

That particular model does NOT have a built-in regulator.I have seen it at Walmart. You would have to add one. The labeling is misleading. The next model up (About $ 50) has the regulator.

WOW! What a RIP!! The description specifically mentions 'gages' too, as if it had a gage for line pressure as well as tank pressure.

I got the model that ereimer mentioned above and it of course does have the regulator.

When comparing Ebay prices to local stores, especially on something that seems a good bargain, don't forget to add in the shipping cost.

And as someone else pointed out earlier, READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.
