I sold my airbrush stuff about 3 years ago. Can't remember the brand but it came from Hungates (cheesy hobby shop in the mall). I never bought a compressor but I used it a time or two at my buddies house, who had a compressor. I was wondering what is a good namebrand of airbrush equipment and if you could use it with a regular air compressor? I have a paint setup in my garage for painting cars. It already has regulator on the compressor and a regulator/moisture trap at the fitting. I was thinking buy a 10ft airbrush hose and airbrush regulator/ moisture trap and just tying into what I already have. Will this work or what do I need to do?

yeah - i pulled the regulator off my dads car guns - all i use is badger and i will put my life behind them - excellent guns and an endless excellent past - if you got a moisture trap on the compressor you dont need another one - i dont even think my dads had one at all - but get a badger gun - either ebay or new

worstenemy would you be willing to do a custom paint job on a traxxas nitro sport and if so what would you charg me i would ship it to you and pay for return shiping ahead of time hoping to get this done cheaper than they charg on ebay they get like 80.00 for a painted body but non for nitro rustler

I have a Toyota truck painted with House of colors paint. I didn't know they made rc paint. Probably way expensive. Thanks for peoples input.

prices aren't bad check thier web site for paint in cans. used alot for pinstriping. Also oneshot is easy to spray and durable paint.

I'll check into that once I get the rest of the stuff. BTW I don't like the crawler fad but that truck with the red rims looks nice.

Crawlers are for me due to severe brain trama. My right side does not have reflexes as before the anuerysm and 2 strokes. Actually the building of these RC's are like therapy. I use to build finescale plastic, can't do it now. Thanks for the compliment. Those are Junfac rims and Skull and Bone tires.
