Juggernaut - No, the airbrush connects to the compressor and is powered by the air pressure.
Fenix - I used to use a Sears monster for awhile, and never had a problem w/ it. If yours has an air tank that gets filled, you really shouldn't have a problem w/ surges.....at least I didn't as mine had a large tank. If it doesn't have an air tank, then you will likely get some surges in your air line.
Biggest problem I had w/ mine is that it would scare the hell outta me when it kicked off, and if I was doing fine work at the time....well, you get the idea....

The air flow on a compressor is also important?
A compressor that can deliver 16 liters of air pr. minute is that good?

Thats why you should get a small compressor. They are quite as hell, and take up little to no room.

I use the same 2 compressors that I use for framing a house, putting shingles on or pumping a tire. The regulater valve keeps a constant pressure on the line while it fluxuates in the tank. I would have more of a problem spending another $110+ for a compressor that I could only paint models and statues with. A solution for "scaring the hell out of you" is to buy 25 or 50 feet of compressor hose. (Home Depot has them on sale for as little as $10) You can set the compressor around the side of the house were the sound waves will be reflected away from you. Or in another room if you are painting inside. You will hear it when it kicks on, but it will just be background noise.

I use a Craftsman 3hp with a regulator in the line. Its the loudest thing you'll ever hear too. If you are looking for quiet, you may want to pass on this one.
