Default Airbrush... A Few Questions

I am looking to try my hand in this airbrush stuff they've got going on the bikes and all. What is a good airbrush though? Gravity feed or the suction? What name brand is the best? What kind of price am I looking at? Last but not least, will the little bitty air compressors that come in some of the kits on ebay work for this? I didn't know, tried a search but no answers there.

Thanks

ive done it a few times. ~$100 for a decent brush. gravity feed probably. i always used a big air compressor because i had one but i used a few pressure reducers. use the 2 step or what ever. duel action i think they call it. its when u push the lever down for air and pull it backward for paint. that way u can feather it really easy on. use lots of layers and take ur time just for a pointer. u can always go back over something but u gotta change colors to erase. i used to have web sites but most of them were dead forums and im not that interested in it anymore.

I prefer suction because it atomizes the paint better so there is more control.
