What airbrush compressor do you use?

I'm sure glad Ken Schlotfeldt sent me this Badger Million Air compressor over 20 years ago.
Very quiet and reliable. Works as good as the day I got it.
Glad I didn't sell it like I was thinking about years ago.

I just have a Harbor Freight airbrush compressor. Its not the greatest but it does its job. I've had it well over 10 years.

I use to work for a guy who had an Iwata that was so quiet. Would love to get one someday

I started with an ancient, pulsing air-compressor that must've been 30 years old when given to me back in '88. After using that for several years, I switched to CO2. I lease two 20-pound tanks and I like that there is no noise and no moisture in the air either. I used to wait for the humidity to drop before spraying, even with a moisture trap or two. No longer. But I do have to take them in (about 30 miles) for refills and there is that lease as well. I probably should've just bought the tanks.

Cheap timbertech from amazon. $100 with an airbrush lol. Its quiet and does the job.

I have a garage type compressor from Harbor Freight. It has two quick release points, so one has a hose for garage use and the other is for my airbrush. I adjust the pressure as needed for whatever uses. I think it has something like a 3 gallon tank…

Can't remember what brand I have but I'm guessing Central Pneumatic or something along that line.

This! I've been using CO2 for 30+ years. Local place says an exchange for a 20LB tank is $16 and I refill about every 18 months or so. There is no substitute.

Craftsman 12 gallon stand-up unit. It will be 20 years old next year

I use a simple Paasche compressor I got form an estate sale. Works great for me!

I can't remember what brand mine is but it came from Amazon. I've had it forever with no issues.
