Hey guys, I'm getting an air brush soon and wanted to know if anyone with an airbrush out there could recommend a suitable compressor. Maybe one that is kinda quiet. Thanks,

Airbrush city has some small and pretty quiet compressors. I have used the thing in the house and didn't even get in trouble

I do work on my stang with a 26 gallon 125 PSI compressor. I just bought a regulator for it and it works fine. The price of those air brush compressors is outrageous! RC

I have a Porter Cable 6 gallon 135 PSI pancake oil free compressor that I use for my nail guns. The cut in pressure is 110 PSIG and the cutout pressure is 135 PSIG. To the side of the motor there is an on/off switch, a tank pressure gauge, an outlet pressure gauge, regulator, safety valve, and hose connector. At the bottom of the tank is a drain valve.
Can someone tell me if this will work fine and if so where I can find the correct fitting to be able to attach it to my airbrush hose. I have an Iwata airbrush and hose.

That should be OK for an airbrush or even a small detail gun.
Here in Sunny Florida, humidity is a real problem. I have a water separator AND a Motor Guard M-30 Sub-Micronic filter as the final line of defense. The thing I like about the M-30 is you can use a roll of standard toilet paper as the filter.
What ever you use for removing the moisture, be sure to move it 'down stream' about 5-10 ft. The air coming out of the smaller compressors is quite warm. Filtering is much better when the compressed air is allowed to cool a bit,the moisture condenses into 'droplets'.
As far as fittings for your airbrush try this: www.coastairbrush.com
For the water separator & M-30 I use standard air tool couplers & nipples from NAPA. I like the Milton brand the best. But you can also use the ones from Lowe's or Home Depot.
Good luck with your painting. PDDR has the fastest & coolest looking cars around.
