Air brush sets

[bert8for3]

Plus a spray booth and exhaust system. It can get pricey. I got an airbrush at the end of last year, but haven't used it 'cause I don't have the spray booth + exhaust. One of many plans is to build a booth/exhaust, but it never gets to the top of my list (have to find out where to get a used, ie cheap, squirrel cage fan).

Good luck

Why can't you just open a window and lay down some newspaper? I don't have a sprayer with that stuff, but that is what I would probably do. I haven't built a model in years, but I would like to start again. It's just the price of an air compressor and spray tools is so expensive. I would have a hard time justifying the cost of a spray booth and exhaust when I can simply open a window and put some old newspaper down.

I don't have a window to open (basement furnace room / workshop)

Compressor isnt esential for painting.
You can make one cheap- and still get nice results.

I've never used a spray booth. They're nice but hardly necessary.

Siara, how does that thing work? For a while when I was young I used an adapter and a spare tire for compressed air.

Pump action conainer. Aparently, after pumping up to 3 atm it holds for about 20 min work. Average pressure keeps at about 1,5. Main advantage- it is really quiet.

I wonder if there was a way to do this without the pressure gauge?

Do I really need the pressure gauge or can I get away without using it?
