As my modelling and painting is going to be a 90% project for late night avoidance of the internet and due to working second shift and having to reserve daylight for the tediuos things like house chores and shopping, I need to find an aircompressor that is really really quite.
My considerations are all about lowest noise possible.
I discovered the world of the mini air compressor by discovering the Testors Aztec mini air compressor on amazon a few days ago. And then delving into the myriad world of chinese clones of chinese knock off mini air compressors i have some questions.
1. many come with a basic junky air brush that is only ever going to work with one size needle. SOME come with nice brushes that even include multiple needle sizes. However i admit i will be looking at a higher quality air brush from the get go, so that isnt a main issue for initial purchase.
2. Very vague on terms of how loud they are, many merely say whisper quite, others say a "whisper in an empty room" is 30 decibels. I have seen the european compressors that use modern fridge compressors, but the sticker shock says id have to work alot of over time to afford those 6-900$ units.
3. air control
Some talk about air control regulators but most are just on/off propositions with very loosely stated claims to air pressure that dont always jive with what the limited reviews claim.
So if you good guys can help me figure this out, things will be wonderful
