3 Gallon Tank?

Err.. dun think I have enough space here to park such a big tank in me room.

lol i see.i have a room in my house that no one uses.so can paint there.maybe when u go there,ask them what is reccomended for ur budget.i'm sure u'll find something.can't wait to go there this weekend.i've been wanting to get an airbrush for 2 years.maybe this thread can also post stuffs that you have airbrushed???then it'll be great

Share what i found on another forum. Seem this chap bought it as a set from "Sunshine Plaza" for SGD230. = RM540!

Not sure whats the "visual" difference between "baby compressor" & "mini compressor" yet, but the former seems to ber very noisy and the later silent.

as i expect,small compressor,but no tank.i'd prefer a bigger one with a 3 galon tank.but since ur space is limited,this might be the way to go.damn the airbrush is an iwata rip-off.get the iwata,trust me,u'll thank me later

Sure i'll heed your good advise.. For RM290 with tank is good price compared to that little fella. Do you know how "silent" it is ?

no,not yet.i'll see first what they have in venus.

wow so no iwatas ah???

some noob question..
we really need the compressor for the gun to work?
is there any other option than the compressor?

yah blow into the brush hahaha j/k j/k.other than air compressor,can use a can air propellant,but doesn't last long

^ thanks..
but how much does the can cost?
its more suitable for people who use less airbrush rite

Well.. I covered all those shops in KL, all dun have. Maybe somewhere else in KL Anybody know? Pls help lah

I found this though

I think it's better to call them and ask who are their retailers in KL.


A few option.
1. Air Compressor (like above)
2. Air Can (RM4X if not mistaken) - Single Use
3. Tamiya spray can (RM3X) - Single Use Per colour
3. Compress Air Tank - those huge missle looking tanks found at Aquarium shops

It's all come down to cost/benefit that suits your needs.

so basically single use means just good for one color la rite..or do you mean by those color spray can connect with the airbrush gun?
like that better save up for compressor

Air Can = Single use = use until no more "oomph", b'coz cannot refill the gas in the can.

Of course you can use as many colours that you have in your inventory, just as long as the Air Can still has the "ommph"

-Edit-
Colour spray can = direct spray (airbrush not required)

ic ic..but what do you mean by this..

3. Tamiya spray can (RM3X) - Single Use Per colour

Those are mini spray cans (compare to the ones that you see at the hardware shops). It's specifially designed for model kits. You just buy the required colour cans you need and spray away until it's finished. If not mistaken it's RM30 plus per can per colour

Most of the colors are gloss type. (i prefer matt) and you cant get the fine shading effects like a proper airbrush.
