Coming from one who knows nothing about air brushing, I am not sure a regular shop compressor is suitable for use in this application? I think Tom Tee has good advice above and that may make your 'air' much more suitable for air brushing. As he says, the regular old air compressors put our moisture and oil with the air which might not be very desirable for airbrushing? An air dryer might be required as well? If so then a special compressor for airbrushing may be less expensive?

The reason I mention this is that I used to work with pneumatic controls and they required special air compressors with piston rings, air dryers, filters and other things that helped prevent oil, moisture and other contaminants from getting into the system. The controls were sensitive and required 'clean, dry and oil free air' to operate properly. Anything else gummed/clogged up the controls and they became unreliable. My thinking was that the 'air' for airbrushing would probably need similar requirements?
