kenshomi Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 What kind of compresser would you recommned? I just picked up a Badger 175 and now need a compresser. Suggestions BTW I am a cheap bastard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr186 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't know that the kind really matters. Just remember, the bigger the tank the less it will run. Also, be sure and get one you can adjust the pressure on. Other than that brand name is up to you. I have a bigger 20 gallon one but the one I airbrush from is a little 2 gal Cambell Hausfield and it does a great job. Under a hundred bucks and I can use it for other stuff too. Try Habor Freight they have good deals sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankee jigger Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I bought a Pasche compressor and am happy with it. I would have bought a bigger one but dont like the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesehead Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 If you can handle a little more noise go with an oil-less compressor. You will have less of a chance to contaminate your paint with oil this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
