Hello! New to airbrushing here, I'im trying to get everything set up to start for the first time, but I seem to be getting a little confused....
I am purchasing the California air tools compressor that is recommended a lot in this forum https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NOSCDPA/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_GtVRybTWWXBNB
I have an iwata eclipse hp-bcs. Since I live in Florida I want to take care of the humidity factor as much as I can and would like a regular with a water trap added to the compressor and possibly another water trap added to the gun or the line after that. I also need to make sure I have all the adapters/couplers to get the airbrush connected to the compressor properly. The picture I see posted a lot with the adapters is a little confusing to me so I haven't made much headway there... I am trying to spent enough to get quality items but I don't want to overpay just for brand name stuff that is just as good as generic either.
So my questions are:
-which adapters/couplers do I need for completing my set up?
-what parts are better to get through iwata or is there another better, most cost effective brand or is generic easily the best choice? (Example: get iwata quick connect coupler Iwata-Medea Quick Disconnect Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001P5S5CO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_tBVRybWCM2H4D or any brand is fine...
or get the zero point regulator as opposed to iwata:

-is there a better place to buy the parts that don't need to be iwata? Any preferences?
Thank you all in advance for any help!
