Hey guys I have a air compresor just like this one here already http://www.dewalt.com/us/products/tool_detail.asp?productID=3107 , and I am interested in getting an airbrush. My question is, can I use this to power my airbrush? if so what would I need to make it work.

that would work fine a slong as u should be able to adjust the psi's.just get some fitings that reduce the nipple size to fit your airbrish!i also reccomend you getting a water seperator.attach the seporator to the nipple the connect your nipples for airbrush.the nipples are found at most stores such as home depot or lowes.its easy to do!

I got it today, I got the Badger 150, I went to Michaels and they wanted $160 :eek: But I had olanned for it and it brought a 50% off coupon and it brought it down to a reasonable price of $80, I dont know what kit it was but I god all three tips and the hose and a wood case, everything wlse they had was single action though so I had no real choices since I wanted a two stage. I just need paint and an adaptor.

I have a similer compresor your best bet for fittings is to go to your local home depot or lowes or hardware type store and ask them for 1/4" quick connects now this is assuming your hose will attach to a 1/4" nipple if not bring in the hose to the store and ask them for an adaptor to get your hose end to 1/4" and get some teflon tape as it will help reduce the chance of air leaks.

I just got it all set up. now I just need to learn how to use it, and get a new. The hose I got actually has a 3/8" adaptor, not 1/2" but thats what my compressor uses so its all good. :D

It comes every sunday in the newspaper, they have a advertisement with everyone else and there coupons are at the bottom. there usualy 40% off though. I live in santa barbara though so I dont know if you get them or not, but if you live near one probably
