You need to ask yourself what you want to do with it, first and foremost. Not all airbrushes are well suited for all things. Is this for hobbies? Art? How much will you use it?

Yupper crazy Bear..Hard to say what's gonna be best for you....I started with a single action..No complaints really..Was good to learn on..To do the things you really want to, you'll probably need/want a double action...Gravity, siphon, really comes down to preference...I wouldn't fret that to much till ya get into it more..Either will work for now...I've still never tried Gravity (want one someday)

My 1st was single action Passche
Next the Passche VLS..(dual action, bottom feed)
Now Iwata HP-SB (dual action, side feed)

All worked well for what they are meant for..All pretty cheap too

Hope that helps a bit..Keep asking away and keep us posted in what ya do.:lol:

Don't get a single action though. If I were you I would get an Iwata HB-SB. You can get some nice lines, and your gun will be lees likely to take a dump. That is just my feelings about it, and get yourself a spray gun for primers, base coats, and clears! Make sure your compressor can handle 9-13 cfms too! Big lesson for me this weekend!!!! Right Dell?

bear you are going to get a number of different answers to make and model! Like they said above know what you want to do and then pick. Although buying a cheap airbrush which does not work well may end your desire to Airbrush abruptly. Also buying the top of the line and then you find out that AB is not for you leaves you with a big investment. You should buy a dual action airbrush and forget about single action. Any one of the AB's you listed will be a good starter if they are in your price range. Good luck and welcome to the Airbrush Tech forum if you have not already list yourself in the introduce yourself thread.
