Typically you want around 10 for detail work, the lower the PSI the smaller the diameter of paint that will be sprayed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241345.page GMT
There's several options:
You can buy a cheap chinese replica which does most of the things a quality airbrush can do, or you can dish out for a quality brush. Personally I think one can start off with a replica, to learn the drill of how to actually use an airbrush, thinning paints, cleaning etc etc, I highly recommend upgrading to a quality airbrush after some time.

Second thing is nozzle sizes. You're new to this, you don't want a 0.1 or 0.15mm nozzle, really. It is likely to block a lot if you're not careful. I'd recommend a 0.2-0.3 nozzle if you want to be able to do reasonable details.

Third isn't even a choice really... You need a dual action airbrush xD

Point four is whether you want siphon fed or gravity fed airbrushes. Siphons need more paint to work, and waste more imho. I'd highly recommend gravity fed as they're easier to keep clean and are also less bulky

Finally; experiment with thinning and airpressures. Find out what works for you. Find out what thinning fluids and pressures the pro's use, try it out, see what fits your style]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241427.page GMT

@ requiem thanks for the info, this will give me a much clearer idea of what to buy]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5241428.page GMT
Lower pressure gives you a lot more control, but requires better quality paint.

Experiment a lot, and see if anyone in your area has a brush or some paints for you to try.

best of luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5242952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5242952.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5258267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5258267.page GMT
I would recommend full disassemble when your done with the airbrush for the evening and give cleaning. I will put the cleaner on a q-tip and go over the airbrush inside and out.

Once clean I'll put it back together but leave the needle out till I'm ready to use it again. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5258354.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/504737/5258354.page GMT
