Default Airbrushing?

I was about to pick one up and was looking at the Iwata ones, anyone have any experience with these? I wanted to get the true fire paint kit from kustom shop but I will just be practicing so I really don't need that expensive paint, what's a good budget paint to practice on?

I want to pick up a black lifted F250 soon and do true blue fire on the fenders and hood. Nothing crazy, just some mild flames on the hood and fenders. I think after a few months of practice I would be comfortable enough to do it..

Anyone have any suggestions or could link me to some guides? I have been watching lots of tutorial videos on youtube and it doesn't appear to be that hard as long as you practice.
