a VL or an iwata
I have 2 vl and 2 iwats and 1 iwata I have doe into it with extras.
the VL is great though and a kit can be had on dixie art
take a peek there . You should get a double action brush....

You don't really need exspensive brushes to paint plugs ..They are nice to have though ..

good starter.. badger 350.. about $43.00 for kit at AC Moore .. keep a look out for 40% off coupon and use it on that . The coupons are in the paper and thier flyer all the time ..350 good for oil too .. because the paint doesn't acually go through the brush .. easier clean up...still a mess compared to water base .

I use Badger Anthem 155 daul action 95% of the time ...

Badger 200's are detail brushes ,,have one rarely use it ..

Badger 360 is a goody daul action ... check ebay for deals on these ..

I use old sears beater compressor ,,works awesome ,, better than oiless and better than tankless...once the pressure is up the motor shuts down and its nice and quiet ..

Try www.dixieart.com before ya buy anything. Their prices usually can't be beat. I have a few airbrushes and the 2 that get the most use are both Badger 360s
