There are two airbrush compressors out there right now that are actually going for cheap but are also good quality!
If you’ve been thinking about getting into airbrushing but don’t want to break the bank, these might be perfect! One has everything you need (well, other than dedicated miniature paint), but it even comes with an airbrush and hoses. The other doesn’t have all the accessories, but it’s still a great pickup if you have a little more to spend.
Price Alert: 2 Cheap But Good Airbrush Compressors!
Just remember that these are from Amazon, so there is a chance the price will go up, but for now, they are great deals! Also, both of these have really good reviews, so that’s always a good sign.
Timbertech Airbrush Kit with Compressor AS18-2K:
You get a lot with this kit, and while the airbrush might not be the highest quality, it can never hurt to have a backup!
Here are the specs on this one:
- Oil-less piston, maintenance-free, portable, quiet (47db), Built-in carry handle-light
- Air flow 20-23L/Min, Autostart(3Bar)-Autostop(4Bar)
- Regulator with gauge, water trap and air filter,Pressure relief safety valve, overheat protector
- Basic Double-Action Gravity Feed Airbrush with 0.30mm Nozzle/Needle,6ft air hose,mini filter, cleaning brush & 5*Paints
- Ideal for designers, modellers, artists, cake decorators, nail art and spray tanning (Please note: This Air Compressor is only fit for airbrush, not for spray gun or other air tools)
The other nice thing, this comes with two holders, and the reviews have all been pretty positive.
Rooty Tooty Airbrush Compressor by NO-NAME Brand:
While this is a little more expensive, we use the bigger version, which works great! Plus, with the extra fan, it should really help.
Generally, with smaller compressors, after using them for extended periods of time, we have had to point a fan at them; with this, you shouldn’t have to!
Here are the specs on this one:
Oil Free Design Compressor housing material: Metal Portable Cooling fan right on the piston radiator to keep the compressor running cool for a long time 110 Volt 6 foot Power Cable Air Regulator with Filter and Gauge 1/6 HP Air Flow: 20-23 L / minute Noise: 40 dB User Manual On/Off Switch Suction cups on bottom for added stability Every NO-NAME Brand Compressor is INSPECTED and TESTED in our warehouse in Tampa, FL before going out to the customer!
Again, a little more expensive, but if you’re willing to move up a few bucks, this could be a great pickup.
