Title: Air Brush Compressor
Post by: Leester on October 15, 2009, 11:57:51 AM

Recently I bought a Iwata Eclipse BCS air brush and was looking at Iwata's air compressor. I have a larger one in the garage but wanted a smaller more portable one for the shop in the house. Having had good luck with CPO Hausfeld www.CPOcampbellhausfeld.com I gave them a look under there reconditioned air compressors. I found the 2 gallon 1hp oil free for 74.99 and it seemed perfect in size and price. Shipping from Ga. to Il. by Fed Ex was 7.99 plus the 1 year warranty and 30 day money back guarantee didn't think I could go wrong. Here's what it looks like and everything in the picture came with. After my airbrush arrives I'll let ya know how it works. FYI it took 3 days to get not counting Monday (holiday).

Should work well Lee, I would very strongly recommend putting a water/moisture trap filter between compressor
and your spray gun of choice. Let us know how well it works.

Thanks for the info Geno. Tower has the Iwata filter for 27.99, is this a good price or if it's cheaper...where ?
