Paasche Airbrush
how long does an airbrush propellant last and if i could just use a refillabe compressed air tank instead?
im just starting to get into airbrushing. im looking to get a paasche V kit but i dont want to buy a compressor yet.
First of all, is your heart set on a Paasche? My second airbrush was a Paasche...and since then I've moved on to Iwata. The V and VL are heavy, a pain in the butt to clean (siphon feed), and although tip and needle changes can supposedly give you versatility - I found that it was bothersome, & it didn't atomize the paint very well. The all around brush I would recommend is a Iwata HP-C+. If you're going to do t-shirts, go with an Iwata Eclipse.
Now, how long does propellant last...all depends on what PSI you're spraying at, and the size of the piece you're working. I'd say an hour? Sorry, it's been 30 years since I've used canned propellant. Recently my small compressor went on the blink, and I needed an alternate airsource fast...so I got a regulator, and bought a nitrogen tank from a welding supply company. (you breathe nitrogen everyday, it's part of what makes up 'air' - non-flammable, etc) That lasts me 6-10 hours of solid painting.
Iwata has small entry level compressors starting around 120. But it all depends on what you're painting, t-shirt airbrushing sprays at 60 psi, illustration/fine art..you're spraying at around 12-18 psi. Automotive... another story all together.
Questions? research? Contact Coast Airbrush...or Dixie.
And these two above companies have some of the best prices out there.
