Air compressor

[trekman1017]

I have an air compressor for putting air into tires. Is there any way to modify it th be able to use an air brush with it?

What type of compressor is it? Most compressors not made for airbrushing pulsate, making it difficult to get a smooth finish. I use a Harbor Freight compressor, but I use it to fill a separate air tank. The tank gives me a smooth constant air flow, and it's quite. I hate hearing the compressor running while I'm working.

You could actually just use a small tire.

Inflate it with your pump, then hook up your airbrush hose up to it.

I personally use a 5 Gallon Porter Cable, when I want to use it I flick the switch until its charged up, then turn it off to avoid the startle of unexpected startup.

It has a built in regulator, and a quick coupler for my 1/4" - 1/8" Hose.

Works like a charm, and it only cost me $45 at the swap meet.

Don't you only ever get a "stead" psi?You can't adjust it,and your pressure decreases as the tire gets low.I've a small air compressor I've been trying to sell,but it is a BINKS.I think...German made,so its not a cheap one.
