Thanks for all of the help here guys. I agree on going with a Craftsman as I've wanted a regular air compressor for some time now and it just makes sense. However, I'm not sure on hp, SCFM, or PSI. What are the basic requirements of these in order to keep the paint flowing through my brush good?

My wife got me an airbrush for Christmas and it's finally warmed up enough here in Michigan to get out in the garage and see what my airbrush can do. She got me an Aztek A4709...is this a good brush? It came in a wooden box with a bunch of tips, paint resevoirs, and a vhs tape that I've already watched. She also got me a can of air and some paints. Well, the can of air didn't work out too well as it got too cold and lost pressure. So I need some help on a compressor. I'd like to spend $200 or less and from what I've read, I should be able to get a pretty decent compressor for that amount. I do a lot of salmon/trout fishing on the Great Lakes and will be painting mostly trolling spoons. So A) Did she get me a decent brush? and What are some good compressors that are compatible with the Aztek brush line? Any help would really be appreciated.

Just wanted to drop in and say hello from Michigan. Found this site this morning while looking for some tips on painting Salmon spoons. Looks like a great site...I hope to join in on the fun.
