  1. What differance would a stage one vs stage two compressor have in this matter? I have been trying different brands of paint. I'm currently using createx wicked. The bottle I had at the time recommended 40-50 psi for a .5 nozzle with no thinning. My tip is .3 I reduced slightly and started trying different pressures. In conclusion I came up with in order for my bostitch to perform like the Sparmax the pressure needed to be turned down to 12 psi cpaired to 40 on his. I know the regulator is good on my compressor. I have a direct line from the tank from there inline filter 1/4 inch npt butt connector to regulator 10ft airbrush hose direct to brush (no quick or Mac) shouldn't be losing any anywhere.
  2. A friend and I are just getting g into air brushing. I've watched all the you tube videos twice. He bought a Iwata neo with a Sparmax ac27 compressor. I read it's better for free hand to have a tank I am using a grex xsi and 6 gallon bostitch 6 gallon pan cake compressor.with When I started using I set it to 40 like suggested. it seemed more than 40 as the gauge read. As I was spraying the force would literally blow pieces off the table. (Pickup box sides door panels)and everything smaller. Tried adjusting pressure down the paint would show caricaturists of not enough. After trial and error of thinning I have yet to get a good setting without being sagar ed for air. I havež also tried a new regulatorer. I also Several different paints. Only fluid I can get work properly is water. We have not had them side by side to compare the two. I'm just curios if the compressor is to large for the job isn't 40 lbs of air 40 lbss regaurdless. Any info would be helpfull I'm completely mind boggled.
  3. Hey guys/girls. I looked at a few other forums before I made the final decision. You hands down mad it an easy choice. I grew up around cars so naturally models were interesting. About 25 years ago I received my first model car for Christmas. That transparent yellow snapcastmy eye. We had a Sufi. I can not become the thrill of a my life. After a 8 year break I'm back building custom cars and trucks.
