Allan, you stated that the compressor keeps running after you stop spraying, a pressure relief valve would not help that. The problem you are having is that the compressor can't keep up with the volume of air required for airbrushing and it keeps running trying to keep up and it shuts down because it is overworked !!! it sounds like this compressor was made for something that requires very little pressure and volume like airbrushing fingernails, it won't keep up with what you are trying to paint.
