Hey guys, This past weekend I bought my first airbrush compressor ( a Pasche DL500) at a flea market for a whopping $20! Now I'm in need of an airhose (with an inline watertrap) and a few other things......

Who has the best prices and service online???

I figured I'd ask you guys....since ya'll are obviously in the know

I picked up an moisture trap at Home Depot for 12bucks. You might need adapters to connect it. I know I needed some for my compressor but it works.

Yep, I do intend to pick up one of those larger moisture traps from Lowes of Home Depot.....then I'd like to run an inline moisture trap also.

I'm mainly curious if anyone has any favorite sites online to purchase airbrush equipment from......such as the airhose with moisture trap. I've sen a few on Ebay...and I may just pick up one there soon....

Hi Brian,
You also might want to try coastal airbrush and Dick Blick, both are on line and have excellent prices and service. I agree with the moisture trap from Home Depot or Lowe's, but for specific airbrush parts, try the above two. By the way where are you from in Texas? I am in San Antonio If you are not to far we have two really good modeling clubs here.
Regards,
Robert
