​@@DeeJayBeStudios Ah yes, the greatest became the greatest because they researched a lot. Good for you.

[@hughjaynus8595]

Great video. One thing for your viewers that want to do this on a double port compressor and run tools without wearing out their arms or regulator knob is to buy a trap with a regulator rated to your normal pressure. Doing that should allow you to set your pressure at the tank to the normal pressure for your air tools while adjusting at the trap down to the eighth inch hose and airbrush limit.

[@ershen]

Absolutely the best how to set up your shop compressor for airbrushing guide for beginners! This should be the standard how-to guide.

I have the same Makita compressor, as I use it for woodworking and am just starting airbrushing. Nice too see someone with the same idea, I also use an additional slave tank, just so it barely kicks on at all.

Wow, thank you for explaining this! Couldn't find how this thing works easily and your video helped. Now I am interested in airbrushing 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@AndrevwZA]

Very clear and comprehensive info. You must look into 1/8" quick releases with built in air valves. Then you do not need to adjust the wall mounted gauge. I'm sure by this time you do not need to know the exact air pressure you are spraying at. Harder & Steenbeck and Grex makes great ones. If you install the small watertrap before your small quick release, you can use it on both airbrushes, not just the Micron. On the video the compressor sound quite loud. I have a compressor with the same motor and can say that is is not as loud as it seems. For years I painted in the room right next to the bedroom while my wife was sleeping.

There you go! So many videos about the small kits... but One to rule them All, yours! I already have a 2 tank 5 gallon compressor similar to yours and wanted to know if I could use IT with an airbrush. At the "Toys for Men" store, I was surprised to see an airbrush kit for the first time, and when I inquired about the setup, I was shown the hobby kits with the pump but no one knew about whether it could be connected to the bigger compressor. So, Thank You for the video THX 😊

This was something that I was delving into, instead of buying an airbrush compressor when I was looking to use this medium, ( buy airbrush, need paint, can I use craft paint, oh need hose, ah they have quick connects, damn cleaner and thinner is over expensive for what you get, can I make my own, phew 😮‍💨 😅, and so on). As my plans for this was not so much modeling, or using on canvas or lures, but, for accents on my small woodworking projects. Glittering, faux finish, antiquing, etc, and not just using stain or paint or clear coats. I already had a small workshop compressor from Canadian Tire, and the only thing missing was a water filter, therefore I needed the extra connectors to set it up, which I was looking into. You did give me something new, as I did not think of using one of my 1/4” hoses first, then water filter, and the reason why. Though in all fairness, I did not know or look at the acronyms NPT and BSP, ONLY focusing on 1/4” and 1/8” connectors with what was necessary in male and female. Nicely done on validating and adding what I wanted/needed to do. Great job, as I found this vid by accident looking at other airbrush criteria. Thanks, and cheers. 👍(Oh, fun looking bunny footwear 😂)

Hum, interesting! I kinda figured you would just connect the water trap directly to the QD, but that wall mount is cool

[@TheRealSlimTeddy]

Great

[@mikedeleon2003]

Thank you DeeJayBe, you have some amazing content and great explanations of the airbrushes and compressors. I’ve enjoyed all those videos very much as I am just starting on my journey. Can’t wait to see your other videos. I have one question, what are the Amazon codes for the male and female quick connects? For 1/4 and 1/8? Also the tape you use to prevent air leaks. Thank you.

[@richardrussell7082]

Once you're roughly dialled in the desired pressure at the tank, you can zero it in by adjusting it while spraying air through your brush to get the exact spray pressure you want, rather than just estimating an overshoot of 5-10 psi. 👍 As well as draining the moisture trap after every session, also use the drain at the bottom of the tank about once a month to clear any moisture in there as well. I just watched a video of Barbatos Rex demonstrating a new compressor and he mentioned that he had forgotten the tank drain on his old one for about a year and it blew out because of the amount of water in it.

[@madsam7582]

My Compressor came with a moisture trap attached. I'm in the UK, and it's a Hyundai Super Silent. I got it for other bigger stuff, but I also wanna paint minis. The tape is called PTFE (Poly Tetro Fluro Ethylene)

[@smallscenesh0]

I was considering connect the filter directly on the compressor output. It looks like that is a bad ideia. Congratulations for this video!🤩 I will subscribe your channel... Clearly there is a lot to learn with you! 😊 Cheers!

Build you a lil baby shack that fits just around your compressor get a longer hose and put it outside right against your house. Make the lil cover lockable bc that’s a nice compressor. Good video, very informative.

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

I’ve thought about this too. Though I have Canadian winters.

[@ThinkerTinker74]

@ChairMan71196 made me think: the muffler on the air ¿intake? of my machine doesn't stay in place (I broke it by accident) and I notice a very obvious difference in sound when it falls off from the vibration. It needs a minimum of 1 foot clearance all around, but some sound absorbing material could be used to reduce the sound even more. I also wanted to mention to you, because I find you're sharing good info, my machine is a bit quieter than some other models because it uses oil to lubricate the pumps piston. On my basement cement slab, I only use a rag under the pump mainly to catch the water and debris coming from the tanks when I drain them. If I were on carpet or a finished floor, I would use a cardboard or piece of wood wider then the pump under the rag - under the pump to ensure the carpet/ floor stays clean and to catch any oil spill from the compressor. I'm not the most knowledgeable person on compressors. I got mine a while ago to paint house doors which turned out nice and to power tools while I was renovating. I recently used an airless paint sprayer for some furniture pieces and it does produce less over-spray but I'm not sure about the results. I might need more practice. Keep making videos; you seem to do them right.

[@ChairMan71196]

@@ThinkerTinker74 thanks guy. It does take a lil practice to make the paint job perfect, like anything in life “practice makes perfect”. You can prolly get a rubber coupling to fix your intake at a hardware store if you have a piece sticking out on the air box that is. If not I’d get some epoxy and the right size pvc and make my own if it’s broke off flush with the air box, just mak sure one piece is small enough to slide in the box so you can epoxy on the inside and outside so it’ll be stronger then use a coupling that sizes up to what size you need ( I forget what it’s called). Ive snorkeled many bikes, it’s easy. On the paint I’d start out with a light coat it (like can see the background light coat) help’s with adhesion then you can lay it on a bit thicker, 4 coats tops. Ive also worked in construction and done a lot of painting lol. I don’t really make videos so there’s that lol have a good one.

[@ChairMan71196]

@@DeeJayBeStudios you could maybe seal it up with insulation and put a light or two in there to keep it warm ish and it should be good through the winters.

[@cb3984]

Paasche also makes their hoses with a 1/4” NPT female end so you can thread directly onto an air compressor hose. Good video! I’ve been running the Milwaukee cordless air compressor, curious how the Makita would stack up to it. I went with Milwaukee because all of my tools are Milwaukee and I have far too many accessories and batteries to switch brands. I will say, though the Milwaukee is ridiculously quiet, if I had a speaker playing music loud and my Milwaukee kicked on I probably wouldn’t hear it. I also like that it’s batteryoperated and portable. However, it will drain the small batteries so fast so you will have to invest $200-250 on a bigger battery. I’m in construction so I have a crap load of batteries anyway.

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

I did see the battery ones are much quieter. Maybe one day I’ll covert to that instead!

[@davidlaue8225]

Great video! Can you provide a link to the moisture regulator you have? I cannot find one with the 1/8 bsp, and I'm assuming thats what size my airbrush hose is. Thanks! Part 2: No worries, I figured it out. I was over thinking it.....

[@necrokillerj]

[@user-mc9iw6tx8u]

The valve on the bottom of the compressor tank is actually to drain the moisture from the tank.

[@mmiller2978]

Yes but draining the air when done prevents a lot of the moisture from building up in the first place.

[@ChristiannTyler]

Great video! Since the compressor has a regulator built in can you just use an inline filter and skip the filter/regulator combo?

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

You sure can! I just have my compressor set too far away from my desk, so I like to have a read close by.

Thank you! I just got back into modeling (WWII aircraft) and want to get into airbrushing. I almost bought a kit but I have a big and little shop compressor so thought why can't I do this? You told me exactly what I need to get this done, and save some money! I already knew a lot of the basic stuff, like using teflon tape and the thread sizes, but you covered everything anyone needs to know for this process. Do you recommend the traps on the base of the brush?

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

So glad I could help! I live in a dry climate, so the airbrush traps aren’t imperative for me. I kind of find them bulky. As long as there is a trap before the airbrush hose, you should be fine!

@DeeJayBeStudios do you have to have a pressure gauge on the regulator moisture trap? I picked up a Central Pneumatic 1/4” mini air filter from Harbor Freight. It says it removes excess water and dirt particles from the air line. 60 SCFM at 100 PSI maximum flow capacity. Manual drain. It does not have a pressure gauge on it. It only has a hole on each side to connect the lines to. Did I get the wrong thing?

Do you think that the pressure gauge & regulator on the Compressor itself is fine enough so that I can mount a screw in moisture trap underneath the pistol?

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

It depends on your climate. I never have moisture in the traps, but it is very dry here. In high humidity, you definitely need a trap. Otherwise you’ll be spraying the moisture in your painting and it will ruin your project.

So quiet, no oil, small, can be moved around with ease and I can dial the air down to 1 psi if needed. Not to mention ive never gone past 1 battery bar with hours of air brushing for days.

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

Is this the battery powered one that you use?

[@chrisg0001]

Harbor Freight's Fortress compressor is 57db. WAYYYY quieter

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

I can’t get those here in Canada.

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

1 gallon will run more often. I recommend the 3 gallon for sure!

[@greyowl9295]

I may/maybe can squeeze funds for a 2 gallon, tis why i asked about 1 gallon

Don’t release the valve under the compressor onto your carpet ! The tank has water in it and you should use the valve to get the water out as well as the air.

[@DeeJayBeStudios]

Yes, I have a mat underneath it now!
