You can't beat Iwata for your airbrush. If it is custom auto work you need 2 decent ones or you can get away with 1 then as you become more efficient add further brushes to your requirements. I would recommend an Iwata HP-CH for auto work, or a cheaper brush is the HP-CS both brushes work well with auto work. My main brush is the Iwata HP-CH but I use the CS as well as a custom Micron brush for really fne detail work. Dont use a different airbrush for different colours, when you want to colour change simply spray some solvent (if your using solvent based paint) or water if your using waterbased paint. Colour changes are quick on air brushes. A quick wipe out of the paint bowl with a paper towel and then spray your solvent or water through it into an airbrush cleaning bowl. If you had an airbrush for each colour you would need a fortunes worth of brushes depending upon your artwork.
