Looking to purchase and I’m new at the whole thing. Alot of choices. My question is, are Badger airbrushes compatible with Paasche air compressors or visa versa?
Thank you for your time.

Any airbrush will work with any compressor given the correct hose fittings and air pressure. A Badger hose probably won’t fit a Paache airbrush. (and visa-versa) I believe a Paache fitting is a 1/8 28 NPS thread.
PS-I wouldn’t waist $200-$300 on a Paache compressor. A general duty 1 hp 1gallon compressor for $60 works fine. Here’s some cheaper alternatives to a Paache.

Thank you for your time and a web site to see. As I see, compressors sell for less. Thank You. From what I need to understand is, the fitting size. I’m leaning towards a Badger. Once again THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

Scott, I use Badger 360s and a Paasche VL. Both, great dual-action airbrushes. My VL is 20 years ofd and the 360 I’m currently using less than a year. I have to admit that the set-screw feature of the Paasche VL spoiled me.
Which Badger airbrush model that you’re interested in?
