Yes that is easily enough.
The Silentaire 20A only puts out .7 cfm and is a great airbrush compressor.
The only time CFM should be important is when you are using tools that use a lot of air such as a spray gun, impact gun, etc.

If not what should I be looking for? I know what sort of psi I need, but I am not sure how many cfm I should be looking for when choosing a compressor. Thanks
