BJ Smith Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I finally had a chance to make it out to the lab tonight and start painting on the backlog that has been building... I was soooo excited..... I was doing well and making progress when my compressor quits . I got it to go after a few minutes of tinkering and then one "wack" ..... but it quit again. Worked on it over an hour with no luck. This is a Model 121ACN from airbrushcity and has worked well for over 1.5 years.... Well... I want to paint tomorrow but that leaves me no time to order another........ Where can I go tomorrow to find a nice airbrush compressor? Any input is appreciated........

jim45498 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Harbour Freight [if one is in your area] has the small aircompressors for airbrushes. They have a couple different models. Get the best one they have and you will be pleased with it. I have never had a problem out of mine. The price is very affordable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allstate48 Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I think I got mine from Menards. It's a Coleman. Cheap, but for me it works. I think if I was to buy another, I would go to a bigger one, because you might be able to use some air tools. Myself, year and a half doesn't sound very long lasting.

fish devil Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I use a sear 6 gallon nail gun compressor. Works perfect with a trap & regulator and I can use air tools with it. I think I got it in 1993. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJ Smith Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks guys..... I appreciate your input. I ended up at Hobby Lobby this afternoon with a 40% off coupon.... I bought an Iwata Golden Jet. It was more than I wanted to pay for one and it will take some adjusting but so far - so good....... Again... Thank you....
