    HI

    I work silly hours now until Christmas.
    Is there somewhere that I can get compressed air for an airbrush sent to me ?
    ie. a Irish mail order hobby shop ?

    Would be madness not to buy a compressor at that rate !60-150-250 on Ebay and should make back much of that reselling after.

    True, but I need to touch some paint up my life size car, and cannot carry a compressor into the parking lot :)
    I have the exact paint etc. before you ask.

    No, see I had a panel redone after someone drove into me, and there was some paint left over, which I got.
    So its the same paint that is on the car anyway. :)

    Word of warning - if it's a celulose paint, it'll destroy the seals in your airbrush in no time.
    Might be worth trying to get a loan of a touch up gun if it is...
