Air compressors are designed to operate many different tools. The value of a commercial air compressor is many times greater than the purchase price because of the amount of work a single air compressor can perform.
Dental air compressors are some of the most reliable because of the high-quality air they supply and precision tools they operate. As a result, dental air compressors can be adapted for a number of different tasks, including artistic air brush painting
1.Disconnect the air compressor from the dental tool air supply. Pressure and air supply rate-of-flow settings are different for air brush painting than for air delivery for dental tools.
2.Reset the air pressure on the tank to a range between 15 and 20 pounds per square inch (psi). The exact operating pressure for airbrush painting will vary, depending on the application and the type of paint used.
3.Reconnect an air-supply hose and a siphon style airbrush to the compressor.
4.Fill the airbrush's paint vile with lacquer-based paints. Test the air brush and paint performance on a piece of cardboard, or scrap piece of cloth
material before beginning the painting project. Every time the air compressor is connected to airbrush, or a new paint color is loaded into the brush, a short test spray should be performed. After each test adjust the air volume, and the paint flow in the gun to achieve the desired results
It really depends on what your painting. using your acrylic or oil paint brushes for water color is ok, the water color paint will not harm your brushes BUT vice versa doesn't work you could damage your brushes.
I am a artist that uses acrylic paints. I've used many different types of brushes, even recommended brushes. I have purchased quite a few packs of brushes to try but was not happy with any of the brushes until one day I received a gift set from my son in law. I fell in love with these brushes, the bristles and the handle fit my needs. The bristles are just right and the handle is perfect.
I suggest if you are an artist to use paint brushes that you are happy with the flow and remember you could use any brush that fits your need. If it's a detailing brush that you are using for something else then that's ok because it works for you. Most of all there is no right or wrong in art; art is an expression you.
Now if your painting furniture or a wall etc, I would suggest you talk to an expert where you are buying your supplies. It doesn't mean you have to buy what they suggest, it is information to guide you to the type of brush that is needed for your project. Go from there. Good luck
