Air Brush
When using an air brush, which is better in your opinion, a compressor or canned air? Also if you choose a compressor, which is the best price and end result wise?

I would go for canned air- less fiddly. The compressors will make a horrible little noise which is offputting with the high concentration weathering etc.
Here is a link for the compressors: http://aircompressors.co.uk/ If you need to air brush regularly then a compressor will last longer and be cheaper in the long term. Hope this helps.

Hi Syd
Like SFE says a compressor if you are going to a lot but if not a can is a better option. I have used both and get very good results. I bought my airbrush i a market not the best but it does what is asked of it. ccmmick.

Compressor every time as far as I am concerned. Much cheaper in the long run. You can vary the pressure which can be useful for a softer spray and some airbrushes

Thankks for the views on compressors v canned air guys. What is the compressor tank made from and are there any problems with water build up in the tank? Is there any corrosion inside the tank due to the water that a compressor creates?

There used to be a car brake bleed kit that used the air pressure from a spare wheel to make it work.
Could you not adapt that idea for an air brush ?
