I was teaching a student once that brought it over and I have to say it died the next time it was used. In my opinion do not get one.
Tanks are okay when you don't have a place to plug in, but the air can get cold as it releases over extended periods which can cause condensation at the brush, so you could definitely want a moisture trap at the brush. Plus it would need refilled more often if you do a lot of airbrushing. My second and third compressor were both sear's compressors and were very noisy but the worked. The California ones look good and right now if you shop Amazon and apply for the temporary prime membership you can. Get the one I sent the link for $127.00 US dollars
. Trick is? Keep a small fan on it at all times. You should get a year-year and a half out of it. Keeping it cool is #1 top priority.
I know the scorpion compressor looks very similar to the one on top of the California compressor. If you got a scorpion and mounted it it may be almost identical. I do know on Amazon they were selling them. Let me dig around and see if I can locate one for you.
Legend, oh my goodness. Stick a pin in my head and pop me before I float away. I am just old and stubborn. God blessed me with this talent and it would be selfish if I were to squander it away and not share with others so they can grow.
Generally they have a set point on the regulator so when the pressure in the tank drops below 80 ponds it will kick on and stop at 120. However the time it takes to get down there depends on how many CFMs the brush you are using consumes. CFM (cubic feet per minute). So if you use a spry gun for painting cars it will draw out more CFMs of air at 10 psi. than your revaluation at 45psi and your revaluation will draw more than a micron would at the same psi. So if you were to clear something with a gun you would want a large horse power compressor to keep up the air supply. So it is hard to say how long it would take. There will be some quiet time.
