what is a good choice of a airbrush to start with?

Iwata Revolution

Here's the one I use: Master G22. I've been using that kit for quite a while, and it works very well. The airbrush is simple to use and easy to clean, and the compressor is quiet and powerful for its size. The compressor maintains 40 PSI easily, which is plenty of pressure for painting lures.

Anything from Badger except their starter line.

I use a Testors mighty mini kit, cause well I it complete for $25 at Walmart a few years back, don't need to upgrade.
