You'll want to remove the cover from compressor cause they get HOT doing a tank. Tanks are WAY bigger then nails. ;)

It should work just fine but check out the airbrush itself reviews.

Well even the Chinese stuff works well for a little while.
I got a 3 pack of airbrushes and compressor off ebay for like $100 shipped to me. The airbrushes lasted for a while but the chrome finish came off and then they didn't work so good anymore. The compressor still works great! I ordered a real Paasche airbrush off Amazon and so far it all works great.

Hi. It seems to be the same brand as the one I linked. The price is good but the postage kills it. (Im in Austria)

Thanks :)

Rad, when it comes to airbrushes you'll get a lot of different opinions, but I've been using them for over 40 years and I have just one word for you ... Iwata. They're the "Snap-On" of airbrushes. Buy the best the first time and you only buy once. As for compressors, I use a cheap Harbor Freight 3 gallon pancake compressor, ($40 and I've had it almost five years) but make absolutely sure you get a decent water trap. With a good regulator and a decent water trap you can get air from anywhere. I once used an airpig and a black & decker tire pump to do airbrush work and as long as the Iwata gets a constant, dry feed, it doesn't care how it gets there.

I personally use the Iwata HP-CS gravity feed, but they have a wide variety. I also have a couple of Testors airbrushes, and they make good primer guns. @)
