I tried to find the technical specs for this compressor online but couldn't find the exact same model, but one very similar. Both models appear to have a knob to adjust pressure, so you can probably dial it down to a much lower psi, preferably somewhere between 12 and 20 psi. The hose connection is a standard 1/4", so will fit most N. American airbrush hoses. In other words, you should be good to go, the only additional item you might need is a moisture trap to prevent condensation getting into your air hose and spurting on to the model while spraying.
