Air Brushing – Air Brush

Question:

Does the compressor allow the paint to pulsate, i had heard this might be a problem with non airbrush specific compressors but i do not know. thanks steve – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – <Steve,I have a Sears1.5 hp,12gallon costs about $200.00.That’s what I use and from what I’ve seen on some other previous posts a couple others use the same.It’s a little noisy,but I like it,it weighs about 70-75lbs. Well it’s come to the point where i need a new compressor.  The badger up and died.  So i need something of a little higher quality then the badger cyclone.  I do illustration and fine art work, and only spray watercolors and thinned acrylics.  I am looking for something that will last me a very long time, require little mainenance and be portable.  (Dorm rooms are not very big you know) And I don’t want it to be too unbelievebly loud.  I have around $200 to spend, any help would be appreciated, espically brands and models you recomend thanks steve

Steve, no pulsating at all. It runs up to 120psi then shuts off, I think it kicks back on around 90psi. I’m not sure never really watched. Allways steady pressure even sprayin T-shirts at higher pressures.
