I need to get a new airbrush machine. I was out on ebay and saw systems for cake decorators that I have not heard of. Does anyone have any advice? I have small home based business so I don't need top line model type but I don't want a cheap machine either. Your help is greatly appreciated! [/list]

I have the Paasche dual action airbrush from Art supply .com with a compressor w/regulator from Harbor Freight (great price). I've only used it a few times and am still learning, but like it well enough.

Fullhouse: did you get the single or double action? art supply.com has great prices on them.

I got a double action, VL series kit. I looked around and Airbrush supply.com (which is also artsupply .com) had the best prices.

The Paasche website has a chart which helped me figure out which model to purchase.
