This has kind of become a new hobby for me, finding old air brush stuff and fixing it up then selling them off. Buyer gets a discount on a 100% working item and I make a small profit for my time. Win Win!

as a retired car painter , you did a great job of cleaning it sir, and yes for much of the 90s i had laquer thinner on my hands daily no cancer but it did burn a bit

[@uranusimploding9830]

You got a GREAT deal .... and never , never .... NEVER ....let an airbrush get into this shape .... a soldier wouldn't let his rifle lay in the mud, rust and corrode and then go and fight with it .... you did a bang up job cleaning this airbrush up ... I bought this compressor from hobby lobby earlier in 2019 for $45.00 on clearance ...great deal

Dang, what a deal. You got the best airbrush on the market. I researched airbrushes for over a year before deciding on the Badger 155 Anthem and I'm glad I did! I got the Anthem for about $68.00. You need to use some Teflon tape on the male threads for the connection to the compressor. Also, you can use chap stick or bee's wax on the threads of the spray head. Chap stick works just as good as bee's wax and is less expensive. You can use dental brushes to clean the nozzle. That's what I use and they work very well. You did a very good job cleaning all that gunky crap out of that airbrush. It should serve you well in the coming years. You can use pipe cleaners to clean all the passages on the bottle as well. Also, you can polish that general purpose .76 mm needle to work even better.

[@RobPearlman]

Do you know how many decibels this compressor runs at? My current compressor runs at around 80 db, it's quite loud.

[@jazzyjer]
