Change out the basics first:
The cheap fitting ends have a ball valve in them which may be stuck.
(Probably not though)

The compressor not kicking with low pressure probably means a bad regulator.
(or just the setting)

The crazy me would suggest bleeding down the tank and spraying some carb cleaner into the intake and running it through.
Follow that soon after with some cleaner/lube like Marvelous Mystery Oil.
Follow that with pure gear oil or compressor oil something.

The system will be contaminated with oil and can't be used for spray painting anytime soon.
