Depends on the type of spray & type of airbrush you're looking for/using.

Bottom/bottle feed (jar or cup hangs from the bottom):

Full coverage dying: 15-22 psi

stipple/thick coverage: 10-12 psi

spraying of acrylics/thicker fluids: 18-25 psi

Gravity/Top feed (cup is attached to the top of the airbrush):

Full coverage dying: 10-15 psi

stipple/thick coverage: 5-8 psi

spraying of acrylics/thicker fluids: 12-18 psi

Your mileage may vary depending on your set up but those should give you some good ranges to start with.
