We love airbrushing and I’m sure you do too if you’ve come across this page! We’ve extensively tested over 20 types of airbrush compressor models and our findings and recommendations are summarized on this website.

No matter whether you are an airbrushing professional, or simply a hobbyist looking to get into the craft, there is no need to settle for the second-best airbrush compressor.

The first step is to read our airbrush compressor buying guide. Once you have read it, browse through the reviews on the website. These reviews cover all models that are available in-store and online.

There are some models that are better than others, depending on your needs, use cases, and goals. There are also many brands, such as Master, Iwata-Madea, Badger, Paasche, and Aztek. Each brand offers several models that range in size, power, and capabilities. Finding the right airbrush for your needs is key to a fun and enjoyable experience.

Have you considered the noise level of the model you are choosing? Would you rather have a silent airbrush? Do you need an oil-less compressor? Have you considered the capacity? What about whether it is portable? There are all questions we cover in this guide to help you make an informed decision.

Furthermore, have you considered whether you want a single action versus a double action? With a single action, you have no control over the paint that comes out. It is dictated by the pressure and power of the airbrush. A double-action airbrush provides more control over the spray of the paint, as there is a mechanism that pushes and pulls the air. This added benefit typically comes at a higher cost.

The goal of our airbrush reviews is to simplify the buying process for you. Buying an airbrush can be overwhelming given the number of models available and how sometimes they only differ slightly. An airbrush compressor can range from $100 to $500+!

The table below provides a summary of the brands and models we cover on our website. If you are a hobbyist looking to get into this art, I would focus on the beginner products. These come at a lower cost and will allow you to ease into it. If you already have experience and you have developed advanced skills, you can look at the advanced models.

Depending on your workspace and how you will be using your device, pairing your compressor with an airbrush booth is a wise choice. Our website also covers airbrush booths, with a focus on the top 3 available on the market (in our opinion!).

We hope you enjoy this guide and learn a lot. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us or leave a comment!
