I'm rather interested in getting a good airbrushing set, (paints and tools, I have a good air compressor... 2 actually)
What do you guys suggest, I'm stuck on a budget of 200 dollars (150 if this lcd screen doesn't work out as planned)
So... Tell me what you guys think I should get!
Paints and Airbrush

Well for a cheap good set you should probably start off with a Paasche, gravity feed. just get a starters kit and it will be fine.

and then go for a 2 gallon tank air compressor.
i like coleman. the 2 gallon tank will keep a steady smoothe flow of air.

and just get some paint, if u want u can go to a auto painting shop, and sometimes they will let u take the old paint.
good luck

If you want something that will last and will give you professional results, I recomend the Iwata HP-C. Plastic airbrushes, no matter how good they really are, feel like toys.
For a compressor and tank you can get pretty much whatever, but make sure you have a tank so that you get a steady stream.

Go with Iwata, I'm using the HP-C and it's phenomenal. You should be able to get it for around 100$.
For airbrush paints, just slowly start building your collection by getting the specific colors you need for your next project. I use spray paint for base colors, then airbrush on top of it with airbrush paint, which saves a ridiculous amount of money.
The best airbrush paint for the money is Auto Air. Createx is the next best thing.
