If you're planning to spray (thinned) enamels, I would suggest a
gravity fed airbrush.
I recently bought a professional air brush and a compressor from
www.tooled-up.com..total cost incl VAT and postage £86 quid.
Have a look at their web site. The a/brush is made by Sealey and I
bought the Draper diaphagm compressor for £58
IMHO the more expensive art-room brushes simply aren't up to the job.
