I'd have a look at Hiroboy.com for airbrushes. I got mine from there (I already had a compressor). Get a dual action, you'll get better results as you can control the flow better. :thumbup:

If you want to start with a cheap airbrush. Try the Neo..Now they are made for iwata, but NOT by IWATA..so some have some quaitly issue with them. Normaly a little modification they can work quite well.
You may be luckly though and get a good one right out of the box.
But normaly all cheap airbrushes will at least need a needle re-shape & polish to get any where near good performance from that brush.
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.

Okey dokey , I'll put my tupence in to start it ;D
  • - Check out fleabay , in the beauty section ( nails , etc.), yes really - lots of cheapo airbrushes , compressers et al . 'Experts' will scoff , but you get the whole package for small bucks , and if you decide it's not your thing , you've not bankrupt yourself and can always sell it again and move up to better gear .
A half decent spray job is a wonderfull thing , the effect is almost impossible to acheive with your usual hairy stick . Remember ,it's 99per cent prep (and cleaning it afterwards) 1 per cent fun :/
to the bouncy room ! Yay !
