Would this work with an airbrush? I'm thinking about getting into that kind of painting to speed up my painting with model tanks and such.

Not sure if it would produce enough air because I have never used a airbrush and do not know what it requires. But have used it on a nail gun and if used a long time with out delay I would let it catch up until it turned off. You need to look at the cubic air per second in the specifics.

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

Never tried to paint straight up. Should work paint is in bottle with small hole in bottle top of air.

I have no idea? I am assuming that it wont unless it is a very very fine powder almost like baby powder... either way it will ruin the airbrush. Maybe a cheap airbrush without a needle in it would work ( can get a cheap Badger airbrush at any hobby store for about $10 ) or buy a sand blastig gun...but that may require a larger compressor due to the needed airflow to siphon the media. Again I would assume it wont because the compressor cant supply that amount of airflow.

This could be a tough one to air brush details after it is assembled. But airbrushing base colors on the hull and deck, and then airbrushing the individual guns, etc. could be possible. Use the right type of paint for the plastic models. I have used thinned testors enamels (oil based) with good luck. Harder to clean up then acrylics (water based), but I like the look better.

Not sure ..paint could be to thick or compressor may not be turned up enough. I am having a similar problem with my gravity feed one haven't tried my airbrush with the cup.

No, it only puts out 0.51 SCFM at 40 psi, so not enough volume for almost all spray guns (it would be ok for an airbrush). Look for a compressor that is specifically stated to work for painting (this one is for filling bike tires, running staple guns and low duty cycle nailers and such that have moderate to high pressure requirements, but have low CFM requirements).

I have not used it with model paints but I belive it would. I have used it with enamel paints, acrylic paint, and food coloring. They all worked well.

It technically can but I would recommend going another route. An airless is designed for bigger production spraying such as painting a house with latex paint. If you have access to a decent air compressor, I would look at something called the Wagner HVLP Conversion Gun. We sell it here on Amazon. Just look for Gleem Paint. Thanks.

Yes, you can. All connections are pretty much universal. I have used two different air brushes with this machine. BTW, for the money I found this machine excellent for the non pro artist and hobbyist. Hope this helps.

I doubt it will work with a brush, it has to be applied in very thin coats with an airbrush...

You can use it for automotive paints and pretty much anything that you can spray provided you clean it properly and a stencil, although having nothing to do with an airbrush, can be used with any paint, ink or varnish. Hope that helps you, It's a very sturdy yet delicate tool.

I cant be sure on that, the paint would have to travel up the suction tube into the piston by force of vacuum, that might be slow. brandtech probably has information of viscosity limits.

I wouldn't think so. I have not done any spray painting so a Iam by no means an expert. I would think the key to even application of paint is constant pressure. This compressor cycles frequently to keep pressure in the tank. Note I am using for airing up automobile tires. Spray painting may draw less volume down and thus the compressor maybe fine depending on the air requirement of the paint spray gun.Good Luck

There are some significant differences between using an air compressor versus using spray cans. Pros: Air flow with a compressor is much more constant than spray cans and an airbrush can be much more accurate (with practice). Cons: Cleaning your airbrush is required to keep it functioning well. The compressor generates heat over time so you have to take breaks. I primarily use this to paint Warhammer miniatures, and I am very satisfied with its performance so far.

I have never airbrushed model airplanes but my older brother has airbrushed a LOT of model railroad cars, which are most likely the same type of plastic. I would do a test first on the inside of the wing (before it is assembled) to ensure that it is OK. I have used Testors spray paint quite often with success on model airplanes, including this 1/48 scale P-51. As long as the spray paint is for plastic models and it is properly thinned for your air brush it should work OK. Jon C.
