I'm actually coming from the miniatures painting hobby, so I have quite a few paints available. Airbrushing will be new, however. I'm researching affordable options for that now. I have always avoided airbrushing because of prep and cleaning. I always primed with rattle cans outside and even outside the fumes bother me. Looking at using acrylic on car bodies because they are relatively odor free, especially with a vent or booth. Enamels and lacquers are out of the question.
