Well, I decided to get into airbrushing after coming into the realization its prettymuch the only brush that i use in Corel Painter, and i felt i needed something more... real? dont get me wrong i love corel and with a wacom tablet it is prettymuch the equivilent of having all your supplys and canvas that you could ever want right at your fingertips.
anyways, i headed down to the local hobby store and picked up an Anthem Model 155 by Badger. its a pretty nifty little thing, no need to change tips/needles for diffrent applications, and its about as thick as a thick pen, so my tiny girlish hands have no problem griping it.
but theres the problem, they gave me the wrong hose and out of the 7 colors i had picked out he gave me 4 enamals instead of acyrilics. when i get home and see the mistake i cry a little inside
because i cant get back to the store untill tuesday. so now ive got a nice shiney expencive airbrush just stairing at me.
anyway, enough about that. what i need to know is how to hook this bad boy up to my brand new (arived yesterday) 4500psi 68ci tank. i know that im going to need to regulate the ~800psi output down to 15-50psi so i emailed palmers and craig sugested a female stabilizer with low pressure kit (0-250). he also helped me narrow down my distant future palmers product from palmerized pgp, stroker, squall, or typhoon. craig picked the squall
.
i guess my real question is, has anyone had any experiance ghetto rigging their paintball tank to an airbrush? what fittings will i need? how can i rig up a condensation trap? should i use a 20oz CO2 tank instead of the HPA?
