Air brushes and compressors

Thanks McCreed, I'd certainly like to hear more about what you've learnt over the last couple of years.

It looks like Phrozin's favourite guns are both HVLP. I get the impression that a compressor to suit an HVLP gun is going to be expensive, and take up a lost of space for something that I don't use that frequently. I was hoping a touch up gun and a small compressor was a viable option, really.

Just saw this after posting "War & Peace" above...

You might find a small direct drive compressor that would be suitable for a reasonable price. They're a bit noisy, but you only need 18-30 PSI (consistant) for an HVLP. I think I was running my mini HVLP at 18 PSI for spraying poly last time.
