PointZero 1/5 HP Airbrush Compressor with Regulator, Gauge, Water Trap, and Cover with Holder - Quiet Portable Air Pump Black

This is a compressor for AIR BRUSH work, not filling tires or other things where you need a great deal of pressure or volume. I am not sure what the max PSI is but it does the job we use it for which is pressurizing a barrel and pushing bourbon out. Not super fast, but for what we need it is fine. Quiet. No oil. Bought in 2016 and it is still going fine.

For airbrushing cars I have no issues with it it is very quiet and efficient with no overheating noticed

I detail cars. When I need to do paint chip touch up on cars, this is what I use. I mask off around the "spot" and put some color code matched paint in and spray away. When it dries I put on clear coat and buff to a shine. Works every time. Better than a brush mark on my paint. And looks way better when finished.

It's quiet and it provides 60 PSI, but this leaks air like you wouldn't believe. Without a hose, or with a hose that has a closed valve at the end, the regulator shows 60 PSI, the compressor cuts out, and the pressure in the regulator immediately drops below 40 PSI, causing the compressor to kick back in.It's probably just the regulator, but why do I have to repair something I that just bought with the express purpose of saving me time? This thing is now stacked on the to-fix shelf, and I'm fitting up my pancake air compressor with a store-bought regulator to use instead.UPDATE: I took the separator/regulator off and replaced the entire connection (separator, shutoff valve, line, nozzle) with components from my spare parts bin. Same thing happened. I took it all off and inspected the connection on the compressor itself, and saw that the thread cut into the casting was very poor. I cleaned it up with a thread chaser, used about three times as much teflon tape as usual, and put it together using the original parts. Works fine now. Not going to increase my rating because I still had to repair something I just purchased.

The compressor outlet fitting was a little damaged making connecting the hose a bit difficult. I reached out to seller about a replacement part and they shipped another compressor the same day.

I stepped up a bit from a rechargeable small (all in one) compressor with no adjustability for something more powerful and adjustable so that I could spray heavier enamels. This is a very nice little compressor, and it performs exactly as described. The noise level passed the all-important "don't disturb the dog" test, which allows me to work hours on small scale models without interruption, etc. Nice consistent air delivery, easy to adjust air pressure, excellent small form factor that fits on my small bench.

Gives me the pressure I need for my airbrush and then some.

Too weak
