Guys,

Im looking at a little project and need to get me an airbrushing kit...
Nothing too fancy

What would you recommend and what compressor to go with it ?

Homie you do get complete airbrush kits that uses an aerosol can with compressed air.If you want a better system then you will have to purchase a garage size compressor 25L or 50L R600 to R1000. The smaller hobby size compressors cost around R1000 + .Have a look in Builders Warehouse.

Homie, member LGF knows airbrushing well and if I'm not mistaken he "advertised" kits some time ago.

Homes, the SG A-180 from aircraft is a super gun, it sprays at .3mm if i'm not mistaken the compressors well, the cheapest one will probably do, have a look and see which it is that you want then lemme know and I can phone that lanie from laudium and see what he can get me and at what price?

@ Homie, if you're battling, gimme a shout. I have a few small hardware shops and I deal with the Aircraft suppliers as well as suppliers of compressors. Don't bother with the little "airbrushing" compressors, rather get a proper 25l compressor. At least you can do other stuff with it. The price of small compressors has tumbled over the last few years. I use a little 50l comp in my workshop. Does the job and its quiet and maneuverable.

Homie · « **Reply #13 on:** July 06, 2012, 03:34:05 PM »

Thanks Martin.

I really dont have space for a bigger compressor... a mini one will have to do.
Also, im gonna be using it very very little...maybe for like 20mins a month......

FishStyx · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2012, 03:37:43 PM »

Ok cool, I get your point. They are quite a bit more expensive (from what I remember when I bought my airbrush) than a normal comp. I can help you with the aircraft comps as well. Shout if you need.

Homie, Bru, i just sms'd the guy and as soon as i hear from him, i'll let you know, asked him for a price on the SGA180 and an airbrush compressor? If you decided on something else then lemme know, i normally get them for quite cheap, cheaper than the wholesale prices, anyhow, that's what the bloke claims, so

Actually just sms'd me back, saying He'll call me on monday, which means if he has samples (always still sealed) you can get them as quick as possible.

Just first check what Limpopoking could get the brush and comp you want for, then I will see what the bloke is qsking me and forward that price to you and then you can decide which is cheaper?

BUT you need to tell me what you want?

Chaps,

Homes, sory for the hijack

Anyone have a contact for a 100 to 150l compressor and a 1.2mm HVLP spray gun?
Dont want a devillebiss or BASF spray gun, this will just be for home use.

Would rather support the people on UA than pay the inflated rates out there
