Guess I can't get something at the local auto parts store eh? Ordering takes to darn long.

Hobby Lobby usually carries them if you have one in your area.

Now do you run these congruently, or is it a one or the other situation?

All i have decided is I am going with a long air compressor hose from the compressor to a big water trap then a braided hose.....as far as what is going on at my ab, Im open to suggestions:

is this the badger equivlent of that quick connect regulator you posted? Amazon.com: Badger Air-Brush Co. 51-041 PAC Valve Regulator: Arts, Crafts & Sewing

That one sees to be the same just set up for a badger hose so if you already have a badger hose that would work great

Concerning the PAC regulator, do you run that WITH the pistol grip water trap or do you need to choose one or the other?

 

[Strictly Attitude]

I don't use the pistol grip water trap

But can you run both? Pros/cons?

You could might get in your way when painting only other thing you might wanna consider is they are set up 1/8 which is iwata

Allrighty I think I got it figured out: I want to use an Iwata hose since there are more and cheaper options out there
so if I decide to go with a mini trap Ill need this set up:

if I decide to go with the QD regulator, Ill need this set-up:

Is this correct?

 

[Strictly Attitude]

You got it

so now that I got the set up figured out on to buying the components. I want to buy as much of it as I can off of amazon because I have a $100 gift card I need to use

So will I see any marked quality improvement between these two traps? Is there another one anyone would recommend on amazon?
