So I need an airbrush setup but IDK what to get. I obv know I need the airbrush and hose but what else has to go inline with the brush?

Paint?



The head(s), compressed air (be it canned or pumped at home), cleaning fluids.
(don't know a whole lot myself.)

I saw something about a regulator and filter. Not sure what I need.

Regulator to keep the pressure constant. Wouldn't want a sudden surge of air ruining your work.

Filter, I think, to keep the paint from backing up into the air hose when working/done.

Mine (small pancake compressor from harbor freight) has the regulator and filter is to remove water droplets.

Comes with the regulator

I don't use a water trap (filter) and havn't had a problem yet. just open the drain valve every couple hours and the condensation comes out.
