Default RE: Airbrush recommendations?


ORIGINAL: cheap tank

most of them are loud enough to make you not want to use it.
I wondered about the noise, not that its a "deal breaker".

I am not an expert on them but have some familiarity with compressors from work; natural gas compressors up to 1,000 HP and smaller air units for plant instrument air (still over-kill in size & cost for air brushing, they do have air dryers that take the dew point down to -40F).

Has anyone tried locating the compressor in another isolated part of the house and run the air to their work area with an adequately sized line?


UPDATE:I see from some Youtube videos that the compressor is controlled by a foot pedal, so this idea would not work.
