Re: Good air brush set at Harbor Frieght for $80
Did you grab it? Harbor frieght isn't always known for the best quality. Sometimes they do have good quality items though. I bought a small wire feed mig welder from there a few years back and I have used it exhaustively and it still works wonderfully.
I will check it out thanks SD!

SuperDave ---
There are a few things you need to consider when looking at compressors and airbrushes. This particular compressor must run continuously to provide air -- with a direct connection to the airbrush, both piston and diaphram compressors will supply pulsating air pressure. This can be overcome by pumping into a secondary tank, say 3 to 5 gallon capacity. The tank acts as a buffer and outlet air will have less of a pressure variation.
It really helps to have a means of regulating air pressure -- I did not notice a pressure regulator on this setup. You can get small in-line pressure regulators that may be mounted close to the airbrush. Lastly, you need a good water trap that mounts as close to the sprayer or airbrush as possible. Unless you're spraying water soluable paint, any moisture in your paint will either leave spots or cause dope to blush.
For small models, airbrushes work well. At the size of the spray area increases, it can take long time to cover. Some of the small capacity touchup guns may work better in these applications.
