Air compressor

What type of compressor is it? Most compressors not made for airbrushing pulsate, making it difficult to get a smooth finish. I use a Harbor Freight compressor, but I use it to fill a separate air tank. The tank gives me a smooth constant air flow, and it's quite. I hate hearing the compressor running while I'm working.
 
You could actually just use a small tire.

Inflate it with your pump, then hook up your airbrush hose up to it.

I personally use a 5 Gallon Porter Cable, when I want to use it I flick the switch until its charged up, then turn it off to avoid the startle of unexpected startup.

It has a built in regulator, and a quick coupler for my 1/4" - 1/8" Hose.

Works like a charm, and it only cost me $45 at the swap meet.
 
Don't you only ever get a "stead" psi?You can't adjust it,and your pressure decreases as the tire gets low.I've a small air compressor I've been trying to sell,but it is a BINKS.I think...German made,so its not a cheap one.
