Todd, Yes, I believe this is true as long as your compressor can generate enough CFM's of air to maintain the airbrush pressure you want to shoot at. This is a steady 20 - 40 psi for the airbursh and paints I shoot. I am not familiar with the Emglo unit you referenced, but I'll bet it will do the job. You will need a regulator and moisture trap, if you do not alraedy have these. Otherwise, it's just a matter of finding the right size fittings to tie it all together. I have seen these at Menards, Home Depot, Sears, Ace Hardware, etc. Sometimes you find this stuff in the Automotive Department rather than in the Tool Departmens, though. Plan to spend some time on practicing how to use your airbrush and to get the feel of it. Stick with a single brand of paint until you master your brush. Different paints have different application characteristics and you will have enough variables to deal with as you get to know your brush. It's not difficult to get good results - just be observant as to your gun settings and resultant spray patterns. Jim
