I had purchased an airbrush from Mumbai but could not buy the compressor because of weight considerations. Any way I was also not clear on the proper setup required.
I am retired and recently settled in Bangalore, although not very famaliar with the city. If some member wishes to part off with his airbrush compressor, I would be interested to pick it up. Else I need guidance on what to buy and where in Bangalore  to have a decnt  airbrush setup
I am an old hand on glow powered planes but electrics is a new game for me with my first parkflyer, a Hawker Hurrican, nearing completion and would like to pep it up post flight trials

hi
always nice to hear from  some one who like electric ,ok so there should be a market for paints  only in your state like we have in delhi , you will find a lot of variety of compressor there ,
as you have already bought the airbrush , take it with you when you are buying compressor , you just required a compressor , air pipe and air brush , that is all

With an added airbrush with hose and a compressor with automatic cutout pressure on/off switch and moisture separator bottle and twin airbrush holder the set is a good and economical buy. This is a similar compressor I am using.

Thanks guys for the info.
What should be an appropriate bar/pressure rating for the compressor?

Max 50 PSI would suffice. Operating pressure for airbrush is comfortable at 30 PSI.

Ever heard of using an inflated inner tube as a source? Grin

Well I have heard of using a CO2 cylinder which used to be commonly available in Delhi long back for use in home soda makers but never read about an inflated tube. Theoretically it could be a source but the pressure will fall dramatically once you start using the air brush. So again it boils down to using an air compressor simultaneously to fill up the tube.

I would have tried the vacuum cleaner (the air outlet end) but unfortunately the vacuum cleaner motor broke down recently. The carbon brushes were held in a plastic casing which cracked. I am not sure if it can be repaired. Its a Eureka Forbes Vacuum Cleaner. Any suggestions?

@ashok baijal
Actually, the Eureka Forbes people are supplying a spray paint can as a standard accessory. But I have never used it actually. No first hand experience, but a friend who used it for general purpose and said 'ok, it works.'

Yes. I have the spray can attachment but the vacuum cleaner itself is not working. I had earlier used it for spraying mosquito repellent and the thing works though never tried with paint. One of these days I will borrow a portable vacuum cleaner from my son and build an attachment for connecting the airbrush and try it out. I will post the results if the setup works out. Else buy a dedicated air compressor!!!!
