Airbrush Compressor Kit AC01 BARTSHARP Airbrush Kits

Why Purchase An AC01 Airbrush Compressor? You will have spent many hours and hours looking for an airbrush compressor that is right for your needs. One that is reliable, value for money, looks good and performs to the highest standards with trouble free use. Don’t worry, we went through the same frustration spending almost six years researching manufacturers and testing compressors to ensure that we now have our own BARTSHARP brand of airbrush compressors. Our range of airbrush compressors has been manufactured by the same manufacturer that some of the biggest names in airbrushing rely on; our prices will not be the same as theirs! The new BARTSHARP Airbrush compressors offer outstanding performance, superior build quality and a quieter operating noise level. ALL of the Airbrush compressors now come fitted with and internal electric fan to help reduce overheating. How do we know that we have now got it right…? Quite simply, because we didn’t get it right to start off with! We originally stocked the most commonly available AS186 airbrush compressor which most other retailers still supply today. We found that these compressors were very loud during use, had a low build quality and were also very unreliable. The grey paint also only contributed to an overall finish which made us think that it looked quite cheap. We, unlike almost all other suppliers, hand check and test every compressor before it is shipped so that you are assured of receiving a quality item. It’s fair to say that we ended up with a large number of the previous 186 style compressors, that we refused to ship to our customers, because of quality and performance issues. Our range of BARTSHARP Airbrush Compressors are incredibly reliable, quieter, built from high quality material and perform to a higher level. At the heart of every airbrush compressor is an electric motor which drives a piston to compress air. Our AC01, AC02 & AC03 airbrush compressors have a 1/6th horse power motor which is incredibly powerful and constantly cooled by an inbuilt electric fan. This new feature will greatly reduce incidents of overheating which is the Achilles of most small airbrush compressors. Our new design compressors have jet black gloss paint with many of the additional parts also being jet black; this gives it a rather understated stealth look which also looks solid and incredibly professional. We know that you would expect to pay just a few pounds more to be assured that your compressor has been sourced from a top manufacturer and is produced to a higher standard than similarly priced compressors. You have undoubtedly spent a great deal of time trawling through all of the online listings and wondering which compressor to choose. You could spend many more hours looking or simply choose our brand with the knowledge that we have the best compressors available in their price range, all with a built in electric cooling fan, and a customer service that everyone trusts and values. Once you have purchased your compressor we will continue to support you by sending you, on request, video links showing you how to overcome issues common to those new to airbrushing.

The airbrush compressor is fitted with an air pressure regulator / water trap which is fully adjustable and has a display dial showing the pressure of the air being delivered to the airbrush. Water vapour and heat are by products of placing air through a mechanical process such as compression. The pressure regulator also acts as a water trap to prevent your paint becoming contaminated. The air pressure regulator has a 1/8BSP male air outlet. 1/8BSP is approximately 9.35mm in diameter. BSP denotes the type and pitch of thread and stands for British Standard Pipe. 1/8BSP is the most common size and type of thread used with airbrushes and associated products, including; air hoses, quick disconnect couplers and air hose manifolds.
