    Got a question I was reading VID's playfield restoration (great read) and there was a link to Harbor Freight's air brush. Along with it was a row of items bought with the air brush. A 1/6 & 1/5 hp compressor were listed, but I wondered if mine (see picture below) would be ok or is it to much for the air brush? I have not bought an air brush yet.

    Will work just fine.

    You need a filter/dryer on that compressor to get good results with the airbrush, they are easily purchased though.

    Put an inexpensive regulator on the end of your hose near the airbrush to control the air at the point of use, not just at the compressor.
    Vid's guide goes over this tip.
    I use a 30 gallon compressor with my HF airbrush all the time.
