I can't think of any good silent compressor thats cheap, shiraz. And if your serious about doing t-shirts in a mall, ya may want to invest in a good compressor. Been there done that cheap compressor thing, didn't work out well.

There are no Cheep silent compressors. I have been researching them for a long time. The best one for the price I can find is the Sil-Air 50-24 selling for around $700 and this is the link to a shop that I found that used to build the compressors for a living before he stated this shop. He has the best prices that I could find on the Internet. http://www.silentaircompressor.com/sil_air.html , also as far as the Medea Great White Shark is concerned it is the same unit as the Black Panther and only has a 1/2 horse motor not a 5/8 horse like Medea posts on their website. I have tested the Sil-Air in a demo before and thy hold plenty of air and are very quiet.

There is other sites out there. But you will find all the information you need to know on this website. Lots of experienced, talented, well informed folks. Ton's of tutorials to learn from. THE MAIN THING IS PRACTICE MAKES YOU BETTER, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY TECHNIQUES YOU READ ABOUT JUST PRACTICE CONTROLLING EVERY THING YOU DO ONCE YOU PRESS AND PULL BACK THAT TRIGGER. And that's what i'm trying to achive, getting a bit better week by week.

CO2 tanks tend to build up a lot of moisture when spraying for a long period of time and can cause freeze up problems because of such a high compresion of air inside the tank. The othe draw back is having to lug them around to get them fillled. they are not light. I would suggest a good quality compresor that uses oil put duel oil seperaters on it and a moisture trap. It will run around $300 and not be horably noissy. My brother inlaw is in construction runs one all day long and said you can hold a normal conversation right next to it while it is running and not have to raise your voice. Which is not true with oilless pancake compressors. With a oil compressor the parts will last longer too.
