Hi, just watched your show with regards to using a model spray gun with a garage compressor. Could you tell me how you connected the compressor to the model pray gun regulator? Cheers Dave

It all depends on your hose and regulator but most likely it would be a 1/2" FEMALE OR MALE TO 1/4" BSP FEMALE OR MALE. Cheers Bob

I took my garage compressor to the store where I bought it and also took the AB line with me. An employee there had me "connected" in no time. I gave it a go but at the time I was living in an apartment and the sound was too much. I thought I would make a sound dampening box to put over the compressor but instead I bought model size compressor. I still have the large compressor and could use it if I had to. Now my hobby area is in a storage unit so the loud compressor would be ok if I could take the noise!

I use a big garage compressor too. Very satisfied, but loud. i messed up a couple of my paint jobs by jumping of my chair when it kicked in. LOL I just put it in another room
