For a compressor, I wound up getting this one from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/airbru...gg_q=air+brush
It comes with an airbrush but I haven't even bothered to try it yet since I've been so satisfied with the Timbertech one. The compressor is very quiet and hasn't given me any trouble so far. I'm new to painting baits as well (only started a few months ago), but if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. If you post questions on here, Mike is typically very quick to respond and has a ton of experience, so listen to what he says.
