Airbrush compressors for beginner airbrush painting

[@ryanvarner6520]

Awesome tip on how to polish the needle!! Thanks!!!

[@mike1261]

Already have two compressors and don't consider myself a beginner. But this will surely help someone and that's the goal!

[@user-vi9gw8pt9v]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Glad it was helpful!

Glad I’m not the only one aggravated about backwards twist ties.

Thank you so much

[@marsbotbyl159]

I bought the "Avanti compressor and airbrush set" you recommend last time. That is a really good system as well.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Yes it is

[@marsbotbyl159]

@@EngineeredAngler with your help and videos l managed to put together 8 Jake style 9" lures. Just set the eyes and 2nd coat of epoxy. Your videos were a HUGE help. Thanks so much!!! 👍

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Great information, thanks! I want to start making lures and an airbrush is going to be necessary. I saw your community post about getting through the storm. I'm glad you're okay. Please be careful after the storm too, that's when the most people get hurt or worse.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thanks...we're staying safe. Cheers

[@pmpkmc]

I hope you all made it through the storm unscathed.

[@christopherblevins1968]

Perfect timing! I'm in the process of shopping for an inexpensive airbrush, and you just dropped it in my lap. I appreciate it!!

[@EngineeredAngler]

Glad I could help!

[@rickwardenaar2639]

These look great. I've been thinking about getting my own airbrush but was reluctant because of the compressor and where to put it. So far I've been using spray cans to paint my lures but is it very difficult to get some detail in the paint pattern of the lures. This micro station is the best solution I've seen so far. I will wait for a chance at the giveaway😜 before I order it myself. Thanks for the demonstration, explanation and your insight. Not just this video but all of your videos, they've been a great help and insparation for me. Thank you.

[@jurajanal2277]

Huh, when I saw little table top compressor I had my doubts as well but it looks like it's actually a quality product. Thank you for the needle hack! I use automotive nitro solvent based paints and they clog like crazy (pigment specks are more like chunks) and I think I've noticed them eating away at my airbrush and needle so I might just give that a try. These paints can give amazing results but they are difficult to work with.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Give it a shot...

[@canifsh]

my first compressor is a iwata ninja jet and i have a no name skyline for now it helps for the space i have.

[@Eistier]

thanks for the video! i might actually go for one of those small desktop kits after watching this.

[@EngineeredAngler]

It works surprisingly well....

[@jeffhayungs5254]

Great video with some great information. And tips. I always polish my needles before initial use and also as needed depending on how much I paint. Keep up the great videos.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thanks for sharing!

[@RegularGuyLures]

I pray that you have come through the hurricane alright. Thank you for the needle polishing tip. I’m going to give that a try.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thank you

[@vonf7433]

I have a pancake compressor.. too big and loud for in my apartment… thank you for the reviews… lighthouses are my ‘thing’ … 😊

[@draganstojanovic8676]

Thank you so much. I was planning to get one of those portable compressors but wasn't sure will it work.

[@EngineeredAngler]

No problem 👍

[@MrMpEmSelf]

Hey,i just found your channel and already I’m a huge fan of your engineering skills and the incredible lures you create! I’d love to see a video on how to put a swivel on a hook hanger, like the ones used in Super Strike lures. I think it would be super helpful for us fellow fishing enthusiasts and ive always wondered how they did it. Thanks for considering it, and keep up the amazing work!

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thanks and welcome

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great information I am going to look into the little one because I don't have a big place to work

[@gadirtracer247]

Where you located ? Hurricane Milton coming to see ya?

[@porkchop817]

Thanks for the video, great job as always! After using the polishing compound, do you clean the needle with IPA or anything like that to clean off potential residue?

[@EngineeredAngler]

Just wipe down with denatured alcohol

[@mikehodges802]

Just reminds me that I need to make room to set my system up. I have made three lures with can paint and I have fix lures that are ready to be painted. Knowing what's coming, do you have any thoughts on painting in the cold :) ?

[@EngineeredAngler]

Depends on how cold😁

[@miguelmorenoaranda5973]

Muy buen compressor para enpezar fue el primero que compre venia con aerografo y 3 agujas y la verdad que disfruté con el aunque de tanto usarlo por desgaste fue perdiendo potencia y compre uno mas potente pero el peimero funciona todavia y es muy silencioso y ocupa poco espacio 👌

Hi Franco, hope alls well after the storm! Question… I am interested in polishing my Badger needles but they have a ‘ball’ on the end of them. Any ideas on how to polish these? I’m nervous about them not spinning straight, but doing a “stirring motion” while engaging the drill and bending them. Any thoughts? 👍🏻🎣🇨🇦

[@EngineeredAngler]

I would not use a drill, just do it by hand...it will take a bit of patience and care.

[@blackwood1431]

Here I was thinking about finally getting a compressor with an air tank and an airbrush gun, and you post this video! 😄 Thank you very much! I guess it's some kind of a sign 😂 Unfortunately, here in Serbia a compressor like the one you reviewed costs around 140$. And that's just the compressor. The very same setup you have (airbrush gun BD 130, airbrush gun holder, compressor AS-186, and a hose, but no cleaning set or paints) is around 165$. Who would've thought our economy is better than the USA? 😂 By the way, there's also a type of cylindrical battery powered air compressor with an airbrush gun mounted on top of it, and I was wondering how long would the battery /the compressor last. Do you have any experience with that type?

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

I have a question. I've been watching some of the automotive painters spray glitter paint when doing candy paint jobs. Of course, they're using bigger spray guns and automotive paints. So, what is needed for a hobby lure maker to be able to spray glitter paints? Is there any hobby airbrush that can spray glitter like the big boys do? Thanks. Hope you're safe from the storm.

[@EngineeredAngler]

You can try it with the largest spray nozzle...small glitter and 0.5mm might do it.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

@EngineeredAngler Thank you so much for the information and reply. Candy paint on a lure would look great.

[@Dr._Spamy]

The first airbrush set you tested seems to make some kind of dotty lines sometimes. How may this happen ?

[@EngineeredAngler]

I would have to experiment with another paint and air pressure to really know. It could be my lack of practice with the gun.

[@carmineavagliano2385]

Ma è quello che vende Amazon? Com'è funziona bene?

I expect that a certain sized needle and brush is needed but I don't know what that would be or where to look for information. Thanks. Hope you're safe from the storm.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

A follow up question, can automotive paints be sprayed with a hobby brush?

[@justincranmer130]

Both of my daughter's want me to teach them how to use my airbrush. I don't have a drier or regulator set up yet. I think I'll show them this video, so they can save up for their own set.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Nice ideas

Hola ingeniero sigo sus vídeos mi hobby es fabricarme mis señuelos de pesca pero el mayor problema siempre ha sido la capa final epoxi o barniz de automoción ya que es un olor horrible.Me haría un grandísimo favor ayudándome a elegir un barniz que pueda usarlo por inmersión y con aerógrafo diluido.He visto su video de Polycricic y no entiendo bien si lo usa como sellador o como capa final de acabado .También veo al fondo envirotex que lo he usado y un uretano Diamond .Cuál es mejor y más resistente como capa final brillante y resistente para peces agua salada?Policrylic o Diamond me haría un gran favor si me ayudara a elegir Gracias.Saludos desde España(Málaga)Costa del Sol

[@EngineeredAngler]

Polycrylic no se puede usar para el terminado. Mejor experimentas con el Diamond

[@jurajanal2277]

Damn, looks like youtube autodeleted my first comment. Anyway, I had my doubts about little compressor but it looks like it works just fine. I use automotive nitro solvent based paints and they eat up polishing and clog like crazy so I might just put this needle trick to the test so thank you for that. Edit: it wasn't autodeleted...

Like i posted before, I am happy to send you wood samples form many species of trees and shrub you have never used if you are interested to measure their [prespective density, weight and grain various for making lures form them. I own a Nearly Native Nursery and I have over a 1,000 species of native flora with a mile of trials. It is a wildlife sanctuary that h I am selling to a destroyer developer as no one wants to purchase to keeping the garden going. Simply contact me through the nursery if interested in to wood samples. Jim Rodgers
