Good afternoon @stainless001 ~

Community legend @nakchak and I collaborated with me a few years back on the salient points of air compressors in our hobby.  And when I say we collaborated, I mean he did 80% of the writing and I pretty much just helped composite some of the graphics.

There are some great tips in these articles I hop you may find useful.

Personally I use a Model TC-20T – Professional High Performance Single-Piston Airbrush Air Compressor with Air Storage Tank, Regulator, Gauge & Water Trap Filter.  Works well with my Badger Renegade.   Is very quiet for the neighbors (I live on the second floor of an apartment, so sound goes right through the floor downstairs).  It will go for a good 60-90 minutes before it gets too hot and shuts off automatically so it doesn’t damage itself (turns back on 20 minutes later after it’s had a chance to cool).
