Post Recommendations on Compressors?
My Compressor just bit the dust. It's been a good work horse for a few years. I got it on eBay from TCP Global.

Looking for a new one. Don't want to spend more than $200. Wondering if you guys have any recommendations. Ideally would be quiet, ability to power two airbrushes, moisture trap and tank.

thanks!

I rock an auto size compressor on the side of my house with 50 feet of line so the noise is far away from my work space

I love this thing, way quiet!!!

I would highly reccomend this one. Keep checking craiglist, kid always get them as gifts and then get sold after it sits in there closet for awhile

it's not quiet, but I got a badger that kicks out 70PSI... It was $200 at Michaels, but I used a 40% off coupon, and got it for a little over a hundred... with the spare cash I got a water separator, gauge, and iwata pistol grip water separator... You can always put on a T fitting if you wanna keep 2 or more airbrushes hooked up at a time...
