Compatible Airbrushes

[thehennessyguy]

I have a Sparmax ARISM compressor which cost me £116 a couple of months ago so it's relatively cheap for a compressor but its pretty small and sturdy but i am thinking of upgrading my brush to a more expensive type instead of this Sparmax max4 that came with the compressor.

i read online that some airbrushes won't work with this compressor and I'm wondering does anybody know if a H&S infinity 2 in 1 would work with this compressor or if not what brush would work and would also be a upgrade from the MAX4 I'm using,

Many thanks Brandon

Looking at the compressor I would think you would have no problem with the H&S or any other similar airbrush using that compressor.

I can't see a problem with the H&S 0.15, 0.2 or 0.4mm nozzle sets. It may have problems with the 0.6mm nozzle set.

With the sort of models you look to be building I would look at the 0.2 and 0.4mm nozzles.

In an Infinity crplus 2in1 #2 or an Evolution silverline 2in1.

That's great news thanks for the help guys. One last question though, Would i need to buy a new hose i saw the H&S airbrush has a quick release valve attached which is different to my MAX4 which has a threaded attachment. If i need a new hose and attachment how would i go about getting my hands on them?

Many thanks

You shouldn't need a new hose, you can either just take the quick fit attachment off the h&s and screw the hose on direct.

Or and this is the easier way, buy a quick fit connector for your hose and connect that way.So much easier to disconnect/reconnect your airbrushes that way

That's great thank you Colin that should save me another £25 on top of the £200 for the brush, Well saved a bit of time i guess before i want to utilise the quick release feature .

Thanks for the help you guys that's pretty much covered everything i needed to know !

Quick release coupling aren't that expensive. £9 for the hose part and £4 for each brush.

There is also a hose part with a built in regulator for £16, which can be of use in some setups.

My prices quoted were for the add on parts to an existing hose, £9 for the hose end piece and £4 for the piece that fits to the bottom of the air brush.

You have googled a new bagged H&S hose.

For flexibility we buy all the different fittings off H&S and make hoses to customers specifications.

Just choose the connectors on each end and the hose length

A standard 2m compressor to quick release hose would be £15.00. £4 for the compressor end, £9 for the airbrush end and £1 a metre for the hose.
