Default Air compressor set up

Hey guys! I'm going to give painting a whirl and need some things cleared up before I start ordering stuff. I already have a shop compressor, what regulator do I need to purchase in order to hook the air hose from the compressor to the regulator, and then the airbrush to the regulator. Do I need any special connectors or anything that I wouldn't be able to find at a hardware store? I am looking at an Iwata HP-CR Revolution.

Thanks for all of your help!

Your compressor should have a regulator built in. Get a iwata braided hose. This has a fitting on one side to connect to your brush and the other side has a larger pipe thread fitting to attach to a male air hose coupler. All can be found and home depot or Lowes.
