#Airbrush + Compressor Recommendation

Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an airbrush and a compressor to go with it? I've decided that I hate base coating by hand, and with the winter months I'll likely need to prime indoors which rattle cans are not the best for, to my understanding.

Using acrylic paints and would really only do base coating and priming. I don't do a lot of bigger models, but I am definitely interested in doing bigger models if I had the ability, which an airbrush would definitely facilitate. An airbrush booth recommendation that isn't absurdly loud would be appreciated as well, or a link to a good DIY booth video

Thanks!

If you’re just going to prime and base coat. A cheap airbrush will do.

#

And you absolutely want a compressor with a tank

#

Something like that

#

That’s the airbrush I started with. It’s garbage but it primes and basecoats and varnishes.

#

And is ridiculously cheap so if you decide you want to get more serious about airbrushing, it’s not like you threw a ton of money away.

#

I still use my shitty airbrush sometimes if I’m just priming for example.

#

And that compressor you can keep when you upgrade the gun
