Yup, he told me that it has to be switched off after 15minutes using it. I come across my fren who is a relative of venus art's owner, he told me that Sparmax air compressor with air tank is around RM700+. How about those they sell in Grafiti @ BTS? Any feedbacks?

Wah got to wait that long. My neck lng liau. Can deliver by airmail but the cost maybe expensive. Maybe expensive than the AB. I think the custom won't tax the item even with the compressor. Cause it sent by individual not company. Second, the price receipt can put it lower if kena tax not that much. Third you can unpack the item, and send it as repair item. So when the person collect the item, he can explain that the item is repair and send it back to here.

Added on July 2, 2007, 1:09 amI think I saw this compressor before. It got a tank and whole compressor is red color. But it running in piston type. quite noisy. With 15min got to off it, I think better don't buy it. When concentrade on spraying modeling, you will feel troublesome everytime got to swith it on and off that frequence.

15min is kinda fast...i on my compressor for 2hours every time i use it

u sure your compressor can ON for 2 hrs?

even spramax can onli last 40mins max..then it need to stop to prevent water n overheat..

, postage is around RM50 from tokyo to malaysia. If you are sure about the customs rules, I had no problem to help u buy that from here.

hmm.. if its just 15 minutes with an air tank, then its not really worth it, as my Sparmax without an air tank runs for the same duration too. U might wanna check with the Venus Art's ppl on how long that Sparmax with the air tank can run for.

A compressor should be able run at least 8hr. It actual is not running continueslly. But on and off. When the tank is full it will stop till the pressure down and start again. That is why it can run long hr. My one even can run 24hr non stop!

i mean those set that earlydevilx bought la.....

the compressor i use can open 24 hours also...haha...red square casing type 1....

Sure bro. Thanks in advances. But Rm50 postage is kinda cheap. Is it normal postage? That would be a bid dangerous, Anytime can lost when arrive in malaysia. If using those DHL, TNT or Federal xpress is safer. But come with a price. Hei bro, can I choose the model and check it out for me?

Ya, Malaysia post sure got some bad reputation. well can post with better trackable with insurances. already check with Fedex and is around RM240.00

Ya, give me a model I try to check for it.

bro, what compressor u using?
care to share with us?

confirm...


2hr can tahan......

your type the cover already made it looks so heavy duty=,=

I come across this ab set that grafiti sells, it comes with ab, hose and the air compressor. Its a worth buying set i guess. I think its kinda suitable for most beginners as it switches off automatically. So it wont get overheat easily.

whr to get that? whr did u see it?

grafiti toys @ BTS

i do hav 2 frens that used the compressor that grafiti sell...

after 2-3 months....no more using that...reason? the compressor running, n very very low pressure output, then sent to shop for repair..no sparepart...

so think twice.

hmm... yeah i realise its packing is very "china". so is there any suggestion on good n affordable compressors?

REALLY AR???wah...lets see how long mine will last...better in modelling only bbuy better de lo...

Finally got this compressor to begin with my airbrush hobby. however, still need a AB to start painting. guess i will buy a cheap one and begin some simple lesson first.

Fyire, I think ur sparmax compressor should be d same with mine.. but mine bought from Tamiya, mini 1 without airtank. I didnt know anything about -only run for 15 minutes at a time. So wat will happen after 15 minutes?

I found my Airbrush will splash out water after using for a while... At first i thought is my AB got Clog.. SO d real reason it splash water is bcause d compressor overheated is it?


I got another question.. Today i try Handbrush my toys using Mr Metalic COlour- lacquer type.. It is damn hard to use... Even when I want to wash my Brush + dice oso takes lots of effort.. By d way im using ZIPPO fluid...

Mr Metalic colour + zippo + Mr retarded Milo -- hand brush.

I have nvr try AB using lacquer paint bcause im afraid it might clog my AB VERY easily.. n forever GONE~ pls advice me on how to AB using lacquer paint pls

And comparing lacquer paint and acrylic... Lacquer is muc more durable compare to acrylic.. Am i right?
