I'm looking for a psi gauge for a aztec mighty mini airbrush and was wondering where I could get one besides online. If someone could let me know I'd be grateful, thanks.

If you're in the US, I got mine from Harbor Freight tools. Here's what I got:

Got my airbrush there too - a nice little brush.

Wow, I appreciate this I've been waiting for someone to reply to my post lol. So the brush and the filter regulator both work with the mighty mini aztec? Do you have the same compressor I have and if so is it hard to install both of these items? Thanks a ton for the info you've given me. Hope to talk to you soon

I bought my compressor from harbor freight too so i can't say for certain. However, I think that most air tools use standard fittings. If your's has a smaller fitting, I'm pretty sure I saw adapters over there (for a couple bucks).

I'd take the compressor with you to the store to make sure you get everything in one trip. If there isn't a store near you, you might be able to call a number from the website and they'll help you out.

Glad to help,
John

Yes, I do have a store near as I've found out and never been there in my life lol. So I'll have to go check it out and see what I can find.
Thanks for everything

it seals the threads and stops air leaks Jay , you can use liquid forms too that place your going if they air tools etc they should have something like teflon tape.
you simply wrap a little around the thread and make sure you wrap it clockwise so it wont come off when you tighten it, if ya not sure look at the bit and screw it on in ya head then wrap it so if anything it would tighten the tape not undo it, hope that healps.
cheers,
Graham
