| Subject: | anyone using the Coast Airbrush CO2 setup? |  |
| Date: | Jun 30, 2004 |
| From: | Mike Duguay | |
I've gotten loads of info about CO2 , and think I am ready to take the plunge.
None of the guys in the local club use it, and the local bottled gas folks are willing to refill a tank, but are of little help otherwise.
Since I know almost nothing about putting a system together from scratch, I'm thinking of dropping the change for the setup from Coastairbrush (www. coastairbrush.com) item # CO2, but before I spend $245, I wonder if anyone has firsthand experience with this setup.
So, is anyone using this rig?
Or can anyone who knows much about CO2 tell me if this system will meet my needs.
It needs to be quiet, dry, have good control over pressure, and be airbrush ready (no chasing around for adaptors)..
Being that CO2 is dry and there is no compressor air tank to pressurize (read as: silent) this setup seems to fit all these needs.
Will the supplied regulator be appropriate for modeling usage?
None of the other online airbrush suppliers seem to have a pre-built package for sale, Dixie, Bear-air and like I said, I'm more Tim Taylor than Bob Villa.
So the idea of having an 800psi bomb sitting on the floor next to the bench isnt sitting well with the wife, she'd rather I spent the money and get it right than blow a hole in the wall.
