An innertube is going to be a very dirty air source; it'll probably
release a lot of moisture, oil, particulates and such that can clog your
airbrush or ruin your work. A good alternative to an air compressor is a
rented, refillable bottle of CO2; it's dry, dependable, and if you're
using low pressure, can last a long time. Just make sure you've got
ventilation (a given, no matter what you're spraying) and you have a
regulator that's specifically for CO2; got mine at Dixie art supply.
