I have to second this comment!

I use a Badger "hobby" compressor along with a Paasche VL Airbrush set.

I've redone Hallicrafters SX-101, HT-32, R-46, and R-42 cabinets.

I did NOT have to resort to dragging out my contractor's compressor and 
spray setup.  I use a water separator on the output of the compressor. 
When the desiccant STARTS to turn pink at all, I pop it in the oven at 
90 Deg C and bake it back to blue.

I've been airbrushing for a couple of decades.  Used to do T-Shirts for 
pocket change.
