Larry,
After being in the air brush Business for some years and air brushing for the
last 32 years, I have to jump in an say my peace. You DON'T need a tank on a
compressor, all you end up doing is spending a lot of money you didn't have
too. I have a Badger 180-11 compressor with a regulator to adjust my pressure
and I have NEVER had any pulsing. I don't know where this stuff comes from
but it's not true. I have won two best finish awards with this compressor and
it's nothing more than a diaphragm compressor. Do your self a favor and do
some more research before you spend a lot of money for nothing.
