[QUOTE=Revo2k]Would it be beneficial to pick up a small air compressor that would be a bit more easily taken places? Any recomendations?

Matt, I have a small Paasche model D compressor that will produce around 30psi. It's ok for plain work and it is nice that I can use it in my small worksapce during the winter. Home Depot. Lowes, etc, also have small tank compressor that look almost like pumpkins. The trim carpenters used them in my house to run nailers. I'm sure one of those would work great inside the house for painting.
I had a Badger model 180 compressor that had auto shutoff, but it didn't work very well for airbrush painting. It was fine for simple spraying, but it lacked fine pressure control and only made about 20psi. Avoid this type.
