It looks like you painted the outside? If you did, did you do something to it to jeep it from breaking off when you take a tumble?

Yeah, you need to clean it very well and scuff up the surface with a green Spongebob Scotch Brite pad.

Anyone found a nice deal on a airbrushing compressor lately? My old Sears Crapsman is getting tired.

I paint in my garage and I've got 3 little boys in the house so I went with the California air compressor. I was spraying out of a chraftsman 33gallon.. This little guy is SUPER quiet and is awesome. I got mine from chicagoairbrushsupply.com but you can find them new on eBay for around $170.

Really good advice/suggestion. Thanks! I did find them on ebay and they are $160 with free shipping. The super quiet is nice too. I get tired of the compressor noise on mine. Sometimes I hear it in my sleep (along with those annoying voices from other planets).

Nice monster body above. A lot going on there, but it works.
