My airbrush air compressor took a shit and i want to replace it with a proper shop compressor with a tank since i don’t have one of those and it’d be nice to support pneumatic tools.
My question is, when they’re on, do they make noise the whole time? Or do they fill up the tank with air and then stop? Can i paint off stored air in the tank quietly or will i have to endure constant rattling?
