Ok now, I have been using a small garage type compressor (since the huge one I had broke),, it makes air for sure. Its also very very loud, 20 feet away in another room its still unbearable. It was dropped so it bleeds air and cycles on and off constantly, Ill fix it sooner or later but.. I need to buy a nice small quiet compressor asap. I think and hope it will ease my stress levels while painting. What are the members here using and why ? What do you recommend ? Price is an object.

Thanks Tony

Hi Tony:

I've had the TC-20 now for 6 months with bulletproof performance, zero moisture in the line and extremely quiet operation. It also offers a two year warranty. Good luck, Jeff

Thanks Jeff, now those I like, great prices too. At the rate I build Ill never wear it out either.

That's the one I use as well. No problems, seems a good machine.

I am in for the the compresor and a new Aztek airbrush I think, the Iwata may just go in the garbage can, in many many small pcs with the needle bent like a pretzel !

Tony

Tony you can buy replacement parts for your Iwata... If you Iwata is less then five years old you might even be able to get the parts FOC....

I dont think the airbrush is the problem for me its the operator. Just dont like painting and ever since I got this AB I hate it more. Not giving up though, both AB's are cleaned and ready,, for the next,, disaster !!

I have the TC20 compressor as well. My conventional compressor was too loud and would wake everyone up in the house when I was using it 'off hours'. The TC20 is pretty quiet as well. It is not name brand, but the air seems just as good.

Im going to go for one when I can/want to spend the money, used my old Aztek the other day, amazing, not a problem to be had ! Cant beat the Aztek.
