The Eagle EA 2000 compressor might be worth a look for you. Family Farm and Home has it on sale now for $99.

I thought i would use my small porter cable compressor for now. It has a regulator on it so i was hoping it cohld work for now.

Yes it will be fine, but I just bought one of the Eagles as well. They are quiet.

Thanks for your help. I never thought when I decided to try airbrushing that there would be so many options and choices...LoL

This is good advice. Start with a cheaper brush, then look at Iwaata, Pasche, or Badger if you want to upgrade. It's not necessary to upgrade, but nice.

I have just started too and so far I like the brush Mike has in the link above. If you have a compressor already I would suggest getting a moisture filter and maybe another regulator to go after the filter. I picked up a filter and regulator at Menards for around 10$. After that you can get a createx paint set from Hobby lobby with the basic colors. Use the 40% code and it should be around 17$.

Thanks for the help guys. I took some of your advise and ordered the gun from the link above. Ill probably stop at hobby lobby this week and see what paints look to goodto leave at the store. Now i just need to figure out what to do with all the rattle cans ive been using for the last year or so.

I painted with a master brush for several years. I use create paint most of the time. I have since upgraded to a badger solor 20/20 and its night and day.
