Accepted Answer

Its pretty forgiving on this one.. we used to airbrush t-shirts from a truck tire, a dive tank, a weak a$$ mini compressor and occasinally other air containers.  The trick is to put some kind of adjustable pressure guage between your air storage and your hose that runs to the brush or brushes.  You set that to about 30ish psi and then as ling as your container has more than the 30psi it will keep delivering consistent pressure to your brush.  You should also put a simple moisture trap in line to keep water droplets from decompressing air out of your line as it can cause “spitting” which can ruin a nice paint job.  This stuff is all hardware store gear, not schmancy art gear which is good news as it means its cheap.  Any old compressor with a tank will be 100 x better than a typical artists airbrushing compressor.  The tank holds the air, the compressor fills tge tank and tge tank will have one of those pressure guages on it to control outflow at a set psi.. you still need to be sure to add a moisture trap though.  Noisture traps come in different styles but mi e looks like a stubby little upside down test tube maybe 2 inches long, set in a litttle aluminum block, water falls down in the glass bell and the air passes on.  You can purge the moisture trap manually, some have auto purge.  Again they can hook you up at ace hardware or anyplace that sells airtools.
