Taking notes here as I'd love to upgrade my compressor to something with a larger tank & slightly quieter as I tend to airbrush next to the main bedroom
It's worth getting good quality quick connect valves. I started out using them but discovered the ones I'd got actually had a very tiny leak.
One thing I'll say is that although a "spring style coiled hose" seems like a good idea, it's not. As it will nearly always be under tension, you'll very quickly discover that it pulls on your wrist and restricts your movement.
Quick connects: available at home centers. This makes it easy to change airbrushes (if you get hooked, you'll have several), or simply disconnect the airbrush for storage.
