You can use about any kind - it is important that it be a dedicated one though, you can't use it for anything else other than cakes! I bought mine from Michaels - it is a badger - there are folks that have bought them from Harbor Freight and on ebay - do a search, there is a ton of info on them.
You can use just about any SMALLER one and it has to be "oilless"!!!!! Otherwise they will spit oil on the cake!! Also, you need to make sure you buy a gauge for it if it is a bit bigger so you can ajust the PSI! I have one that I bought at a hobby store. Much cheaper then the badger and has a max PSI of 30 (or 50, but I think it's 30) but I can adjust it down to zero. I don't remember the name of it right off hand but it works GREAT!!!!

I just bought an air brush and compressor via internet after combing CC for every bit of info I could--the compressor has arrived, and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my airbrush....I have no idea how to even hook the two together, but I can't wait to start using one! Mine is not specifically designed for cakes, but it is the one recommended by Roland Wienbeckler (I'm sure I just murdered the spelling of his name). I didn't order from his site, although, when you add everything up, his starter kit may have been the way to go...includes colors, extra bottles, airbrush and compressor....oh well....wish me luck and I'm sure I'll be on here when it arrives begging for help!

That's the one I have, Aztek 4709, and I love it. Not a lot of parts and easy to clean. No needle to bend or replace!
I just got the kopykake airbrush, i haven't had a chance to mess with it too much yet but so far it seems worth the cost. It has a very simple design and is easy to clean and use.
