:) Hello,I recently bought a paasche vl airbrush just to play around with. I am just experimenting but may eventually use it to spray acrylics on canvas. After hearing the Campbell Hausfeld 2 gallon compressors were good i went out to wal-mart and bought one. The one I bought is actually labeled a 209000 which there is very little info about. I wondered if it was the right one or had a weaker motor.
I was able to get it to work and even spray an acrylic mix somewhat. It is rather loud and takes a while to pressure the tank. I was curious about the 209000 number because most people talked about the 2048 or 2040 which was not available at the wal-mart here.
I called the Campbell Hausfeld company and the salesperson said that all the the 2 gallon models were the same power. But then he said that the cfm was .51 at 40psi and .39 at 90 psi .This is less than what the 2048 and 2040 are advertised at which really confused me.
I believe I can still return the 209000. Basicly i want something that is strong enough to spray acrylics,not too loud and not much more than 100 dollars. What do you think would be better? The 2048(stronger?) the 2040?(quieter?).
I also considered buying a 2hp 6 gallon husky(really a campell hausfeld) or porter cable model.These are probably loud but i could possibly run a long air hose from another room.
What compressor would you get and where would you buy it?
Thanks,
Brian
