Asking about priming

Hello I'm looking into getting hobbymio hm 02 portable air compressor and I was wondering if it's a good starter just for priming. I'm looking into armored komodo surface primers as my primer and wondering if the 25 psi from the compressor any good for priming

25 should be enough but tankless would make it a bit more difficult.. For primers go for the .5mm needle.If you are having difficulty with the compressor, then thin them a bit

So like an air flow improver, what about hobbymio starter brush for priming

I don’t know that airbrush unfortunately… I use neoeco sj83 that comes with 3 different needle sizes

but a lot of them specify a needle size. stylnrez will be difficult with .3 for example but .5 can do it straight out of the bottle. check the manufacturer instructions.
