Status: offline 		So, I'm new to the airbrushing thing, and I'm wondering if you really need a SMALL compressor? I have a 60gallon compressor with some goodies for painting cars, so would I be able and use this same compressor just with an airbrush gun instead? I can adjust the pressure, and the fittings/adapters for my air-tools are 1/4" which seems to be the same for airbrushs.... hhhmmmm......

Status: offline 		Awesome! I was hoping I could just use the compressor I already have in the shop rather than buy a small one just for airbrushing. Thanks for the response. I'm gonna give it a shot and see what happens. I figured I should be able and use the big compressor being I can do like you mentioned...I can regulate the pressure where I want it to be. Now I'm excited LOL. Thanks again-
