Tha compressor has an air tank. But very small one just for 8 second buffer don't know if you can count it as airtank. The compressor has auto on/off function by monitoring pressure in the airtank.

The one i used that splurts is basic dual action top loaded. The Gunze Sangyo pro-spray mk-iii i posted is the one i plan to use but connectors don't fit. I don't remember having much splurt on the Gunze last time i used it, just require more paint and u need minimum level of paint for it to work efficiently, but no problem since you can just remove the container and store it away. Also you can change paint nozzle size easily and you can move the paint nozzle closer/further from the air nozzle.

Initially wanted to get the compressor with a 1L airtank but my friend ask me to try this out. Well really didn't expect the airtank to be so small. Was thinking of getting one of those capsule shape air tank but i don't know what kind of connection it takes the connection is really a problem. Any good recommendations? The connector adapter are not cheap.

But I don't see any tank at your compressor. Are you counting the air filter water trap as a tank? You can modify by add in the tank only with connect using hose to the compressor. Not really that difficult with all this connector and connection. But I m not sure where got consumer type hardware shop which specially in pneumatic.

Check you AB needle got bend or not. Specially the sharp side. If bend, you need an oil stone to sharp it back.

No problem for the AB connector side. Just need an adaptor to standardize it and use one type hose.

ah i'm so confused with so many connector size & shapes. How do i check what i got? any names or terms?

One of my idea is, the AB connector remain at your AB. Cut the air hose 50mm - 100mm from your AB connector. Joint an adaptor with a standardize hose. Do this with another AB. Than you can exchange your AB easlly.

Another way is, use a Y joint to branch out another hose for your AB. Than you have 2 different size hose to your 2 AB. You need to find out what is your connector and hose size. Either in inch or mm. rclxub.gif

Hope not too technically explanation to you. sweat.gif Cause this thing is industrial parts.

Update. Some picture for you to understand more

You can't use long hour on this comp. Only few min. The other way is, use this comp to inflate a tyre tube and get the air from the tube. That you can spray longer time.

There is another easy way to mask the odd shape. Mr.hobby ve a something like green color liquid that can apply on the place that you want to mask. (sorry I don't remember the name.) Once dry, it became elastic membrance. After finish spray/color, you can tear it off.

Try time machine, t.square. I did brought from them last time.

I've not tried it myself, but what I think is that as long as the pressure coming out is higher than what you need, then the pressure regulator should handle the rest for you. Its like for my sparmax compressor, the air actually comes out of the compressor at high pressure but in spurts. Totally unusable for airbrushing by itself. but it smooths out once you run it through a pressure regulator.

I guess the main worry is if the default pressure output from those tire pumps will be too high for the hobby regulators or not.

As long as the air go through the regulator, that is alright. It can handle very high air pressure. You can set whatever pressure you want from going out.

The air from pump is better go through a tank to even the air flow + water trap. The air from pump is like pulse air.


By the way, if you guys have difficult finding the air parts or whatever air parts, just PM me. But not compressor. tongue.gif

You don't need to replace the air filter. Just drain out the water will do. Or once a while, takeout the filter and wash it with detergent. That will clean out the dust.

Use industrial thinner to clean it. It is the strongest solvent for cleaning paint.
