Not at all. It's stressful, hard work, and then you have to clean all that shit up. Lol, I'm not even joking.

Did I read somewhere on this board that you can use an inner-tube as your air source, if you don't have a compressor?
Will it be a direct swap for the compressor or will I need an adapter of some sort?

You can use it for your air source, but I'd still use a filter and regulator. You would probably need some sort of adapter that presses the little pin in to allow the air to flow. Either that or remove the pin and have a good cap handy.

Yes, but they are also available in most well-stocked hardware stores like a Home Depot or whatever. Not sure what you have in Barbados, but if you look at the pictures earlier in this thread, the regulator is basically a guage and a knob, and the filter is usually a clear, bullet-shaped thing, about like a clear plastic condom. They will both have either male or female threaded ports, and they just daisy-chain between the air source and the airbrush hose. Some compressors designed for airbrushes have them built-in.
