I'm guessing you don't have a full size compressor if you're looking at a kit?
The small airbrush compressors (without tanks) are really "chuffy" - since you get air output from each stroke, the air delivery isn't constant.
You could start off with something simple like a Badger 250 external mix:

or a Paasche H-SET:

Bren R.
If you're only gonna do a couple barrels, the 250 is fine.
If you're going to be doing more, I'd step up to the Paasche, or a Badger 350.
Agree with Bren that compressors without tanks don't deliver good airflow.
HIGHLY recommend your compressor has a tank.
