I know I know, I should buy a compressor, but I didn't want to plung that deep into the unknown world of airbrushing just yet. Too pricey.
Anyways.... My airbrush came with a small can of air. Will this be enough to spray a 10" cake. I only need it to be one colour, nothing fancy just straight black.

Thanks Guys and Gals, you all have been so helpful with this airbrushing stuff.

Well, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. I haven't tried airbrushing yet but would like to learn also.
Anybody else know?

it depends on what design you are airbrushing. If you are just doing misting and a background...yes, you should have no problem at all. Cans do tend to freeze if you do it a long time. If they do, just sit it in a pan of warm water while you are airbrushing.

You can get a small garage tank compressor at walmart for like $50- It should work with your airbrush as long as it isn't a KK. That way, if you decide airbrushing isn't for you- your husband can have it and every man likes a compressor even if it'is the one time a year he gets to pump up the car tires.
