Hey guys, I am looking into painting bodies for myself and others. I wanted to know what exactly I needed, [airbrush, brushes, ect.] to get going. I already have 2 compressors, [a big huge one for big powertools and such, and a smaller one for like bike tires and such] so Im pretty sure im set with that. I really would like to know everything I will need and why I need it. Thanks guys! First person to help me out alot gets a free body. LOL j/k.

besides the brush and compressor...

a moisture trap on the air compressor if it doesn't have one.
the correct fittings to attach the airbrush.
the correct thinner for the paint you are using.
airbrush cleaner.

I'm sure I missed something.

My advice would be to go to a painting specific site, such as www.cfxpaintworks.com or similar, and start reading.....

All the basics are covered there, along with tutorials and "tips of the week" that should get you pointed in the right direction.
