Another compressor question
I've read through all this section, some 40 ish pages and to be honest I can't remember everything I've looked at. However I'm looking to get a new compressor.
I used to do custom painting where I had a hydrovane which was lovely and quiet, that got sold when I closed my business down which leaves me with my old 25lt compressor that sounds like a machine gun going off and usually scares the heck out of me mid fine line or some other inappropriate time or my little tiny silent as a fridge 1lt tank airbrush compressor which was fine while I was doing illustration stuff but doesn't cut it when I need higher pressure to spray waterbased paints. So, I was looking at these... http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/ca...ir-compressors Does anyone have any experience with them, are they good ? Are they reasonably quiet to be able to let me concentrate while also not winding up the lovely people next door ? My other option was maybe something like a jun-air one with a larger tank that could cope with the higher output ? Although the Bambi ones seem very similar in design ? http://www.everythingairbrush.com/ac...mpressors.html It's all getting a bit costly though and a second hand small hydrovane is perhaps a better possibility ? Any opinions greatly appreciated along with what you guys are all currently using. Stories of compressors packing up because they've been used too hard or not hard enough will also be interesting to hear. Ta very much

Alright mate,
On the everything airbrush site is the compressor I use, I havent had any trouble with it at all. It is the AB-AS-196 twin cylinder on demand compressor and its very quiet too. I use it with water based paints straight out of the pot. Chris
