Raceaddict Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Got a new compressor is the mail this morning, so that was great news. Not so great, I didn't think to crosscheck the hose fittings with the airbrush I had. Attached is a pic of my old hose (black and blue) that fits the Badger, and the new (black) hose that fits the compressor but not the airbrush. What adapter is needed to connect the old hose to the compressor? Thanks K Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that. I could picture what I needed.... but didn't know the actual model numbers. Now I just need to find them in Canada for a normal price. Found them both on amazon.ca for $40.

Or is the cost of shipping too cost prohibitive??? I honestly don't know so just asking. Grex should have Canadian dealers that carry these adapters as they are pretty common. I don't handle our Canadian accounts specifically otherwise I would find a dealer to make it more convenient for you. If you have trouble finding the adapters please contact me off line and we'll help find a dealer for you. bryant.dunbar@grexusa.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not as bad as the jungle option... I'll go with them if I have to, but I'm thinking a little digging to find something on this side of the border first might save some time and $.

Bob Beary Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If you Google grexusa and then go to find a dealer on their site and type in QC (on left side of the page) for your province, two dealers will come up. Jac Hobby has what you need. Both are in Hull and Laval. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Beary Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It might be a good idea to bring your airbrush and the hose(s) in question, just to be sure. Let us know the outcome. You might even find some other neat stuff there :) And quick connects/disconnects are great! Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Raceaddict Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Stopped by JacHobby late this afternoon to see about getting the adapter, and despite much of the store having been unpacked, not all of it was... and the airbrush supplies were among what was still in boxes. They told me to come back next week. Thanks, that's ever so helpful. I'm betting if I'd said I was looking to buy an entire airbrush they would have been pretty quick to find those boxes and get them open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, they probably would pull an airbrush out but at least you know they have the adapters or can get them if they don't turn up. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Raceaddict Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Yeah... I'm just grumpy that I'm losing another week of modeling when (for once) I'm actually having free time to spare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I travel extensively and it's difficult to check all the videos we have online. Thank you again and hopefully my response has helped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
