Prompted by a post on the site about airbrush painting I purchased an example myself.
I haven't used it yet and was planning on supplying it from my large compressor but I got to wondering if an electric tyre pump might do the job?
I have a well made GM pump laying around which could be put to good use possibly, limiting its pressure via a regulator
Anyone done this or experiences of?

I have a cheap airbrush from toolstaion, i have tried pond air pumps and small electric pumps but none seem to have the kick to make it go, i found it ok on my big compressor but as i use it for arty farty stuff i am looking at getting one of theses

mainly for the noise and partable factor, as its a chrismas present i will let you know how it goes.

Be very careful as some of the cheap compressors for the airbrush as you cant get spares for them

Thanks for the information, i do prefer things that last, i have been using my old broom wade dentists comressor for airbrush work but it is loud in the same room, still good for about 40 years old.

Thanks for your guidance. On second thoughts and having it temporarily piped up to my large tank I don't think my spare pump would be up to delivering the air volume required.
I am not planning on using it a lot but a separate pump would make it more convenient!
Keep looking.
