Here's the compressor I have




I got it as a gift for christmas so I don't know exactly how much it cost. I know it came from a local hardware store. The gun it came with was complete crap so I bought this one...




It was $60 At Hobby Lobby. Its a bitch to clean and its pretty fragile. Ive had to replace the tiny nozzle on the front three times already. Now I've figured out to be very gentle with it and I think I can avoid damaging it again.

This is the brand of paint Ive been using. Also sold at Hobby Lobby for about $4 a bottle.


And a tip that will save you a good bit of money that I found out. Don't waste your money on buying the airbrush cleaner that's like $5 for a tiny little bottle. Windex is the same thing as the cleaner. Go buy a gallon of the walmart great Value brand Glass cleaner. It'll save you a ton!
