Exactly...perfect for a newbie wanting to learn. He if don't like airbrushing or don't have the patience for it, he's only out $15-$20. I'll put my $20 cheap-O up against anyone and their $50-$200 brush any day.
Before the OP goes out and drops $$$$ for compressors, masks, gloves, filters and everything else to save the planet, he needs to simply try an airbrush. Maybe he won't like it at all, many people don't. Get a cheap and a couple cans of air. Give it a try, if it works out, you can always upgrade. If not, you're out about $30 total.
