Re: quietest compressor?

For the ultimate in quiet, it sounds to me like an air tank is the way to go. You can get a big one at Home Depot for $30, plus another $30 for a moisture trap and a few bucks for some fittings. If you need to fill it, the big 'garage' compressor will work fine, or even the pump at the gas station.

Scale Auto Mag said filling a 4-5 gallon tank to 100 psi should be plenty to airbrush a few models, and filling it is easy and cheap enough. I've been meaning to try one for some time, but I don't really need it: When I move I'll likely lose the luxury of a basement workshop, so I'll give one a go then.
