Are cheap airbrush kits really that bad?

Hi all,

I'm fed up of basecoating by brush as its so time consuming.

I was looking at a cheap airbrush kit that I had been recommended months ago and before I take the plunge I just want to make sure I'm making a sound decision.

On a fb group im being told I should spend around 250 ish for a good set up but as a novice I'm not sure I should be spending this amount of money.

One I was looking at is this one. as my skill improves i would probably slowly upgrade but would this be OK to get me started?

Hi, I use an airbrush and I bought myself a Cheap Ebay kit about a year ago, I don't paint all the time but I have had zero issues with it. The only thing I would definately recommend is make sure you get one with a Tank rather than just a compressor. Without a tank the Compressor will run constantly and risk burning out (again depending how much you are going to use it)

The Cheap Airbursh I got with mine has served me well, the only thing I have to complain about is they do have some rough edges to the parts that are cast, which can cause them to be a bit hard work to clean out, I got round this by using Car paint thinners to clean the brush out once I had finished with it.

The kit I bought can be found at the link below;

That's the exact one i went for. I've used it a couple of times now. For basecoating its does me fine although I am looking to get a gravity fed airbrush now.
