Air brushes and compressors

[jonwhitear]

The last gun I bought is a proper touch up gun (HVLP) so it's bigger than the airbrush and smaller than the 1.4-2.0mm gun. This is what I've used on my last two necks and it's perfect with a .8mm nozzle. I think this will be my first choice on my next build for body and neck.
This is the model and retailer I bought it from: Star 106TG-2.

Well, after keeping an eye on FB marketplace and EBay, I ended up buying a 2.5HP / 24L direct drive compressor from Sydney Tools for $90. There were quite a few decent looking units on FB, but I got tired of being dicked around by idiots.

I've also just received a Star gun from Wholesale paints. Mine is a S-106T 08G, but it's an S Type general purpose gun (with a plain chrome air cap) rather than an HVLP with the green cap. Did I get the wrong thing?

Yeh, with that compressor you need a conventional gun. HVLP needs massive ammounts of air flow to work properly..
