I bought one that is a combination unit for my set up at Harbor Freight. Reasonable prices and good availability.

thanks buddy. greatly appreciated. Do i have to mix polycarb paint with thinner in order to airbrush or can i just use straight polycarb paint? Sorry guys but I've never air brushed before....

Start practicing on soda bottles till you get the feel of it.
Spaz Stix is ready to spray, but you might find Parma a little thick with lower pressure.

The consistency of the paint if it's ready to paint is that of milk. And as Rolex said it's best to start airbrushing on 2 liter soda bottles. It is a real close material and is cheap.

Parma is thick. You can thin it, but only a little bit. It's actually recommended that you don't. I used it with an airbrush that is about 10 years old, and ran it on propellant. Once the can got about halfway down, I couldn't spray for crap. Had to buy another can. I think it was recommended to run about 70 psi.
