I would like to get an airbrush. What is a good brand for a Beginner? I have a WASCO cat.. I would rather not invest alot, on something to get started with.

A Paashe H you can get them for 43 bucks a very basic single action airbrush.
A Paashe VL would be a better airbrush being double action but capable of single too.
You'll probably get alot of opinions but that is what I started with and seem to have no problems with them. You'll need a gloss gun for broader area spraying too, they vary in price also. Check WASCO out, but I saw the VL as a set with all three tips for $79 at www, dixieart.com you can order the extra fine tip also. not a bad price.
I wish I would have started with the VL and saved the $43 to use toward my gloss gun.
You'll also need a compressor and a moisture trap and regulator.
If your spraying lacquer a good charcol filter respirator is needed if your spraying water based paint you should still weara respirator to keep the paint particle out of your lungs.
Use a paacshe no.5 nozzlewith waterbased paint
worked out OK for me .It came with # 3 tip for general stuff, and you can easily get the parts for #5 and #1 tips. Should last a lifetime.
