I have had good results using a double action Aztek airbrush made by Testors. It's constructed using more plastic than Badger or Pasche but it doesn't seem to affect its performance, and handles enamels and laquers well as well as well as the thinners. Clean up takes a little time but is not difficult. The interchangable tips seem to make clean up a bit easier as well as adding versatility to the system (although I mostly use the fine tip nozzle). There is a "deluxe" kit available that comes with a video that provids some basic how to info, but the best way to learn how to use it is to practice. I generaly thin paint more than is recommended on paint jars, usualy 30% or more. I have found many brands that work well, Floquil and Testors "Model Master" enamels always yield a superb finish. Tamiya acrillics do very well too but the acrillics seem more prone to clogging the fine tip nozzle on the Aztek. The only time I use a primer is on bare metal. hope this helps
