thanks, what paint would you recommend and do you need anything else e.g thinners or anything

if yer gonna be spraying indoors then a waterbased system like faskolor or createx etc. as for reducer, i would suggest auto air reducer. you can however, just use a mix of windex and water.
get a respirator aswell! go on ebay and get a 3m 4277 respirator, that will work for ya.

if that kit on ebay is used to spray Pactra, then cool, but for faskolor, gonna ne a straing, small nozzle, no tank reservoir either.

true, will have to thin alot. best bet is to get a compressor and airbrush seperately. you can get a cheap 0.5mm airbrush for about 20 quid.
unless you spend a few more bucks on a compressor, i doubt youll get one with a resevoir, which if youll be ab'in a fair bit will be a must. plus a comp with a tank on it can be used for other things aswell.

and don't forget, they are bloody noisey, mine is sat on thick foam mats, in a sound insulated cupboard, which is also sat on rubber on a concrete floor, and even then, it is noisy.

For a good look at cheap airbrushes, look at this months RRCi. Well worth considering some of the ones in there.:thumbsup:
