Guys I asked the question few years ago, I already have a Gunzo Airbrush, now I need a Compressor, Air Tank & A water filter.

Hoping to get them at reasonable price with good built quality with minimal maintenance.

The cheapest and only airtank i can find is an online hobby shop which cost rm150.

I heard Chinatown has some art shop but don't know the price. Like to have an idea on the pricing before i go in.

obviously u have either not equiped urself with much readings or unable to understand just by reading alone.

no worry. u just need to get some real modelling frens to show u the real thing.
i had many readings before i got my ab and compressor and stil get the wrong concept


ab gun/handpiece
not really much thing u can choose except for the price u willing to pay for and brand.
other specs are quite standard line:
1) nozzle (0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.3mm being most commonly used, 0.2mm for spraying fine works and 0.5mm for broad area)
2) cup (cup size and cup location, on top, bottle feed, side feed, up to ur working and own preference)
3) single or double action

compressor
1) compressor/"engine" type: fridge type (round heavy black, and is expensif) or normal hobby type with metal heat sink cooling fins (looks like motorbike engine)
2) with or without airtank (with air tank u no need to worry about turning on and off, as the one wt airtank usually come with auto on-off switch)
3) pressure regulator and mositure trap (standard must get items)

pipe or hose, need to ask meh? when u buy compressor just make sure got attached hose, don have then get one lor.
nothingelse.

are the pressure regulator wit the compressor too? and wads the use of moisture trap?

air tank?

the one in the touchdiy.com...the touchmedium, whch catergory does it fall into?

and lastly... wads the point of auto off ?

hi...i wanted to sell my tamiya basic air brush wif compressor.Is brand new and never use be4.Anyone intrested PM me

ur compressor is which model, comes with water filter & air tank? Interested in the Compressor without air brush.

i selling this kind....

i think dis 1 is air tank

free promo for touchdiy

auto off...the compressor will shut down itself automatically lor when too hot.
how long will it take b4 auto off depends on the model.
or ur room temperature...put fan beside it mayb can stay longer

this one gud mar?

and is this promotion available if i buy str8 from him?

You'll need at least the FilterTouch. The moisture trap will be important, unless you've got some other external moisture trap, like what I saw in another post in the garage sale.

These compressors do not have an air tank. It's recommended that you let it rest every 20-30min, and not let it overheat.

my budget for compressor is around rm400
so isit ok if i get the TouchMedium instead of FilterTouch??

how much is a moisture trap?

from what i read here, a gud compressor has moisture trap AND air tank.

am i missing anythng out?

I have asked this question many times but nobody wanna answer. I try my last attemp to ask the same question:

Can those air pump/compressor 20-30psi sold in Hardware shop for rm50 be used to pump compressed air into airtank (with water filter), or even directly to airbrush?

I mean the price difference between these type and art shop type differs like 10 times. Any downside?

gravity or suction is better with using 'not so called' a good compressor?

gravity more ppl use for short term spray bah... but for large area spray normall ppl use suction type cuz it is bottled and can store more paint for longer spray time? =)
it has nothing to do with the compressor i guess...

RM50 air pumps...never tried before. although i doubt it'll be able to provide a consistent output of air i.e. the pressure is constant at 10-15psi.

i believe u can find compressors being sold online at around rm450 to 500. those are usually without air tank. air tanks would cost a couple of hundreds more. u can try searching on lelong or ebay malaysia. if not, drop by the local hobby shops and ask. if u're really into the hobby, get urself into the local hobby forums. there're quite a few threads there that talk abt compressors and where to get them.
