markw Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm ready to purchase some equipment but want to understand what I need. Do you need a special airbrush (like the badger sandblaster) for powder paint, or can you get by with a large opening in a regular airbrush? What size opening is needed? I have a small nailgun compressor that I can regulate the pressure with. I'm not sure if it will go low enough, however. What PSI is best for airbrush powder painting? If my compressor works, is there anything I need other than an adapter to reduce the hose size? Can there be moisture problems? Thanks!

dayooper Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 You only need about 3 - 5 lbs of pressure to operate the air brush. What you can do is use an inline regulatore on your air compresser to get the pressure down low enough. The badger brush works best as it is set up for the powder. If you live or work in a high humidity area, a moisture trap inline would be good. You can check out our videos on our website at www.tjstackle.com for some how-to's on using the air brush.
