hi
im looking to buy a compressor and an airbrush, i have decided on a airrush i think but was wondering about the compressors, i have seen one with a working pressure of 1psi - 35 psi for £180.00 and one with a working pressure of 1psi - 65psi for £300.00?? i was wondering what pressure you painters have it set at when you are using your airbrush to paint models etc?? does it need to be able to upto 65psi for this type of work??
can someone give me some info on what pressures for what?
thanks in advance

Matt - I normally spray at 15psi, w/ a max of about 25-30. I usually do ALL of my work at 15psi.
