Keep an eye out at your local freight tool store. Pick up a cheap air compressor. It will have a tank and regulator which are critical. Heck, you can even air up the tires, blow out your garage, hook up a pneumatic tool (nail gun, etc.) and fix your house.

You should be able to pick up the proper size connection and just use a quick release set-up with a moisture trap in the line and you are all set. Sure, they might be a bit loud, but once they charge up, the 20 psi you shoot can go quite a long time before the compressor kicks in.

I have used a 1 1/2 gallon tool compressor for my airbrushes for years - best way to go. I had an excellent Badger Silent I, but it was expensive and so heavy to lug around, I sold it and have never looked back since.
