Airbrushing is a surprisingly versatile art form. You can use it to do everything from painting elaborate designs on your car to making delicate designs on decorated cakes.

We researched some of the best-selling products to put together these airbrush compressor reviews to help you find the right one for you. Before we get started, let’s look at some of the important features you should know before shopping.
Power: Believe it or not, the power of these compressors are measured in horsepower. They range slightly from ? to ?. Make sure you choose one that has enough power to do the jobs you have planned.
Pieces: We found a few options in our research. If you want something simple, some of our picks are just the compressor. Looking for more? Some include a hose and some even come with a whole kit to get you started.
Hose Length: The hoses that are included with some of these compressors all the same length: 6 feet. That’s the perfect length. Long enough that you have room to work but not so long that it will get in the way.
Tank Capacity: Some of these compressors draw from air tanks and they all hold 0.9 to 1 gallon of air. That’s enough to do quite a bit of work without making the compressor too bulky or heavy.
Maximum PSI: If you stop using the airbrush gun, pressure builds inside the compressor. Most of these have an automatic shut off feature when the maximum PSI is reached. This amount varies from 35 to 100 PSI.
Weight: These air compressors are designed to be portable since you can use them to do so many different things. The lighter your compressor is, the easier it will be to move. Look for a compressor that has a handle, too.
