Hawg Hooker Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Good morning all! As a part of my lure making endeavour i will be purchasing an airbrush with a compressor. I have done a bit of research and it looks like the Iwata series of brushes get excellent reviews. Im not really restricted on budget so i'm willing to spend some cash on a quality unit. The Iwata compressors also seem to be high quality. Open to suggestions... Thanks guys!! Happy New Year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Iwata brushes are my choice. As for compressors, make sure whatever you buy has decent air storage, so you can maintain good air pressure and flow while you're painting. You can use a less expensive tool compressor and still get good results. Edited December 31, 2017 by mark poulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawg Hooker Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Do tool compressors have the capability of having moisture traps on them. I have a large tool compressor....i thought you needed one more dedicated to airbrushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I use a tool compressor, you can have moisture trap on compressor no problem, I use a small inline trap attached to airbrush and have no issues with mosture. One big advantage I've found no one has really mentioned is, with a big capacity compressor you can turn off compressor when full and used stored air for quite a few lures in silence ....glider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I purchased a Harbor Freight air brush compressor. I couldn't be happier with it. It's fairly quiet. Only runs when needed and it just flat works. I have a moisture trap on it as it can get quite humid here in Texas. I used to use a tool compressor with dual moisture traps. They work well also. However they are really overkill. If you have a Hobby Lobby store nearby you can use their 40% of coupon on a airbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
