Advice on compressors

[Lonekimono]

Hello everyone, I am new here. I am look for some advice on buying a compressor. I am going to be doing some automotive stuff. I have an Iwata HP-CS airbrush. I am looking for a quiet compressor with a tank. I was looking at this compressor. http://www.tcpglobal.com/ABD-TC-828.html#.WOdlMJ8pCBb
Or if someone could point me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciated. I am looking to keep the price around $200.00 thanks!

I have a California Air...a bigger one. They make smaller ones also

What exactly do you mean when you say automotive stuff? If you mean airbrushing on cars bikes etc, then the California air mentioned is popular, but I say get the bigger one if you want to cover large areas like cars. They are quiet-ish, and good value.

If you actually want to use a bigger gun and base coat cars/bikes too, I wouldn't go smaller than a 25 litre ( sorry don't work in gallons here) tank.

Good advice here. You could have a look at the Airbrushtutor video on compressors as well. Once you've done that, pop along to the intro section and say Hi for us. Where you are in the world, what you do, any gear you have, that sort of thing. Here is the link.

Thanks everyone for your response. I will be looking into a California air. My only other question would be? I guess I will be needing some type of adaptor to hook up the hose to the compressor?

It is usually 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch. They are readily available.
