I am looking at this product for my Badger 250 airbrush I just purchased. I am new to airbrushing and I'm wondering if this can be compatible and would i need to buy any attachments for the hoses?

I am going to be using it for applying resolene, and Angelus paints. Also would like to have a compressor for nails and such around the house.

That will work fine, as long as you regulate the pressure down to the recommended PSI for the airbrush. You will probably need hose adapters, but they should be available in packs near the compressor.

Just a thought, . . . I bought a little dedicated compressor, . . . made just for air brush applications, . . . Harbor freight, . . . got change back from a $100 bill.

It stays on my work bench, . . . never needs adjusted, . . . won't be in the "wrong place when I need it" scenario.

It is all set up for just that job, . . .

If you have the funds to put into one, . . . I would definitely go that way, . . . then get the bigger one later on for the other projects.

I actually bought mine in reverse order, . . . but when I got the big one, . . . I wasn't doing any air brushing

May God bless,

Hello;

Your ad does not mention if this is a oilless unit or not. You will save yourself alot of grief if you get a oilless compressor and a water separator to attach at the brush. Just know that I speak from experience. Good luck

I agree with Dwight. If you HAVE the funds then 2 different ones is the way to go. I had a small cheap airbrush only compressor that worked great (until it broke) now I am hooked up to my "pancake" compressor. (big enough to run nail guns) and I find it is hard to regulate the pressure low enough, much louder, and I have to drag it off at times to do other jobs. If you can only afford 1 and don't plan on airbrushing that much then, Yes it will work
