I really don't know too much about them but I've heard that Paasche's are supposed to be good. I know when my dad used to to taxidermy that it what he used.

super easy stuff to do-

don't ever let anyone tell you painting is hard

just about anything will get you good results on small pieces etc.

I just did all the interior plastic pieces, and soem fiberglass work we did in a mustang with a similar set-up

ive been airbrushing for a little but but have limited knowledge. i started out with a lower end badger forget the number now its in the garage ad im at school. then i got a hold of another badger that let you reverse the barrel so its either suction or gravity fed. i would suggest buying a gravity gun it lets you do finer lines with less splatter and is a much more consitent spray. badger is a good beginer gun and they are relatively cheap and you can get parts for them at an AC moore or crafts stoor. i dont use a mini compressor so cant help ya there i use my 40 gallon compresser aand set the psi to like 25-60 depending on what i am doing and make sure you have a water trap
