Has anyone ever used this (linkie) air compressor? How quiet is it? Does the fact that it only runs when the air brush trigger is depressed create flow/splatter problems?

Thanks

Hi Marty:
I have the Airmaster And LOVE IT. I have not had any problems with it. If anything, It has been with my airbrush or nozzle. I have had my system for about a year now. And love how convienant it hjas been to manage the airflow as well as the noise management. I uased to live in an Apartment an my wife or Nieghbors never once complained about it. It gives a low humming sound which is niwether distracting if you are trying to listen to music while working. So in my opinion it was and is a great choice.

Marty Sounds Great. I think that you will be pleased with this partuicular Compressor, As it is also self sufficiant. In other words you do not have to add anything to it. i.e. Sump Pump, etc. And is small but yet effective in the way that you need for it to be. So it is definantely the best choice. I hope that you will buy it and will be able to see just hoe much easier it will make your painting experience.

Hi I´ve made one similar using the compressor used in the refrigerators, and it cost me less then the third part of a commercial made one...
If anybody interested I could point some interesting sites that teaches how to make one....
