Justjokin Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Thanks for sharing Scott! if you use promocode consortium on Badgers online store: webairbrushes.com you get 40% off you whole purchase. I don't think it gets the Sotar down to $87 with free 2 day shipping, but you can get a good deal on all the new Stynilrez primers and minitaire paints. Anyone know how the Sotar 20/20 stacks up against the Krome Renegade? Both Badger products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 . Anyone know how the Sotar 20/20 stacks up against the Krome Renegade? Both Badger products. I use both. The Sotar is for much more finer details. I love it. I use the Renegade for priming and base coating now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 So is this a good starting airbrush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The thing with air brushes is get the good one and get use to it. Buy it, use it, get the practice in and perfect your technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burk Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Way to big in my opinion, this airbrush is small. it has a very small hose connector, so you need a specific connector. 1/8" IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justjokin Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I agree (with) Burk, it is a large compressor, but you can certainly get the proper adapters for not much monies or so to step it down to the required size. What I do like about the link is that the compressor has the pressure regulator, a moisture trap, and a reservoir tank. I actually do most of my painting with a Home Depot Husky air compressor that is better suited for running my air nailer. Compress the air, store it in a buffer, make sure it is dry before it goes into the tool, have the right adapters and PSI. I think those are the core concerns. I defer to anyone more seasoned than my armature's experimentation. ... Then we start talking about paint thinning and viscosity... mmmm.... milk.... The hose in the image below works between my Badger Krome and my Home Depot compressor. That is a badger hose, with a 3 dollar home depot adapter.

George Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 I use the first one you listed. It works perfectly fine. You just need the adapters for the hose and you're set. Adjust air pressure that you feels good for what you're doing and run with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 So my stuff is on the way. Where should I go to get the adapter I will need? Also, anyone interested in showing a newbie the ropes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justjokin Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I got the 6ft braided airbrush hose at BridgeTowne or Michael's. The other adapter I got at Home depot, near the other compressor accessories. I'd love to take part in a beginners Airbrushing session. I still count myself as newb, although I do have some successes under my belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 my compressor comes with a hose..so I guess I just need to find an adapter for hose->airbrush. I bet we could set up an airbrush night over at WoW sometime in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justjokin Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 If you don't find the adapter... Remove the home depot adapter from the hose that I have here, and it will replace the blue hose in the picture above. The brass end will connect right to the moisture trap, and the small end will screw directly to the bottom of the sotar without any other adapters.
