Hi all,
A post on RMS noted a great sale on Puma air compressors. Both have tanks. One has an 8 gallon tank and the other a 1.5 gallon tank. For airbrushing, which should I consider?? Does anyone have first hand experience with these compressors?? It says supplies are limited (yeah right) but I would appreciate a rapid reply.

Ted, Puma's air compressors are very nice, but they are also pricey. Sale or no sale. If you have the money, go for it.
If money is an issue, and you would like an air supply (other than just a tank from your other post) you should consider getting an air compressor from someone like Sears or Walmart. They both carry air compressors that are very inexpensive - as far as AC's go, and they provide all the nessecities you need, including the regulator and some with an moister trap. The prices are under $100.
If you need more info, please ask or reply here.

I don't know about Puma, but I just got a Craftsman (SEARS brand)1.5HP compressor with a 2 gallon tank for $119. Came with an accessary kit and hose. But no moisture trap.
