What airbrush did you buy? In my opinion you would only need one. Many are adjustible and can spray heavy or real light. My Badger 150 has interchanable needels and heads.

I appear to have bought the wrong one it will not allow me to change colors quickly. It is a gravity feed type with a very small bowl on top . I ordered the right one today.

Harbor Freight sells all manner of airbrushes. They are, or course, cheap Chinese knock-offs of better brushes, but they are CHEAP. I have a number of them of various qualities. That way I can do fine work with the better brushes and have others that I can chance ruining spraying suspect materials. You can get some brushes as cheap as $5 when they go on sale.
