Hi, just hoping for some advice on getting an air compressor.
I'm in NZ, and i'm finding it very difficult to find any of the airbrush company models.
But I was looking at a REVIEW ON THIS SITE, and to me, if you were to remove the steel case, it looks an aweful lot like THESE HERE. Now that I CAN get in NZ. Its got similar if not identical sort of specs as the badger type.
Of course I can look at the badger one online, or other similar brands but by the time I add in shipping... its 2x the value of the compressor itself... same if I do actually find one of these in an art shop or something, its got 300% markup on the thing.
The other type I found, it the full size (all be it small ones) air compressors. 1.0HP BLACKRIDGE, 1.5HP OZITO, and 2.0hp REMMINGTON. Now I don't need more than 1HP i'm sure, however the Blackridge doesn't look like it comes with a regulator. By the time I add that it, it will be the price of the 2hp one probably. The Ozito, well it's probably coming from the same factory as the blackridge, but Ozito is a pretty crap generic brand. And the remmington is a 2hp. I want to be able to run this in my garage without keeping everybody up or annoying the neighbours, I don't imaging the 2hp one will be very quiet.
So, as the experts you all are, would the 1/6hp model suit? To me, I can't see much difference between it and many of the named brands, and I am on a budget. If I get 2-3 years out of it i'll be happy.
Or do you have alternative suggestions and sources?
