as the title says ... what are your thoughs ?

i think that it wouldnt last that long, and if using it for an airbrush the pump would be almost permanently on!

cheers,

hi matt
the only thing these are good for is pumping up tyres and inflatable beds and toys, i for one wouldnt use one of those for an airbrush, they are quite noisey, they can run hot, and its debateable if they would run an airbrush properly,
the compressor i have is one gary (dog) gave me, its got a 25litre reciever on it its a bit bigger than used with an airbrush normally, but for me its ideal

matt the size of commpressor i was given by gary, you can get really cheap http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stanley-Air-Compr ... 240%3A1318 this link is an example, you can get them from about Â£50 to Â£100, for me the versatility of being able to use it with some airtools instead of just a airbrush is a bonus

the delivery pressure looks too high on this one, you might find that you end up chasing paint around your tank at 40 PSI, never mind 90 PSI

Put one of these in line and you can adjust pressure for different results
