Default Getting into airbrushing...any advice?

So, I'm an artist as it is, and decided after talkin to a buddy of mine about lack of local airbrush artists for custom work, I decided to give it a shot. I want to buy a decent to good airbrush set for starting with motorcycle helmets and small body work and minor art work etc. Does anyone have any recommendation for equipment? I know it will be a long process and many years to improve, so any and all tips or advice is welcome! Thanks!

i took that step a few yrs ago aswell. practice...
they say if you can draw it than eventually you can paint it so good luck.

i have used badgers, paache and iwata, iwata is the best of the 3.
