Default Compressor Q...

How would a 1 gallon pancake compressor work for airbrushing? I'm looking to get into it and found a similar one at a decent price. Is 1 gallon enough, or should I look for something bigger?

As long as it's going to be plugged in and you don't mind it kicking on regularly to keep the tank up, the capacity is really not terribly important. Then you have to be comfortable with the noise it puts out

Just make sure the pressure it puts out is high enough for what you are doing (RC bodies 35-40psi is enough, TShirts is much higher, 65 I believe) and it has a workable regulator.
