Make sure you purchase a water trap for your compressor. Next pick up some kind of airbrush paint. Faskolor, Createx Auto Air, Spaz Stick, etc. Certain paints you will have to thin down. Most people thin it till it's becomes milky. Add a windex to thin down your paint when needed. Only add a little at a time you can always add but can't take away. You will need to clean your airbrush after each color. Water for the water based paints will work great. To help the water a little airbrush cleaner works. For other type of paints a solvent will need to be used. A paint resporator would be something to buy if you plan on painting alot. If you got one great, I picked mine up for $25.00 from menards. If there is anything else I can think of I will edit my post. I hope this helps you get started with painting. Relax take your time & have some fun. I also never get the right results with the search function here.

Sounds cool to me if there is anything needed to be added someone will. Alot of people know more than myself but I think I got it covered. Good luck have fun practice as much as possible. My skills with this new brush has been alot better. I am semi happy with my painting skills now. Getting good idea's for paintjobs that's another story.
