My [2c] Buy once learn twice. I bought a Badger double action. For a beginner (like myself) you can depress the triger all the way (using it as a single action) and first learn how to control the amount of paint by pulling the trigger back and forth. Once you get the hang of how much tigger pull to use you can begin to learn how much air to mix with it. Buy once: Get a double action. Learn twice: First, learn to control the amount of paint, Second learn how to control the amount of air. For an air compressor, I use a Craftsman 15 gal shop compressor in my workshop and it doubles for airbrushing. The cost of a compressor, airbrush only or shop size seems to be about the same -- $100 - $300. Here's an inexpensive compressor that can be used for multiple purposes - http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=82653 I am in no way affliated with Micro-Mark. I recommend buying an in-line filter to remove moisture and oil from air line. A must-have item for painting is a respirator.
