ALWAYS clean your brush and jars. Whenever you are done painting, run some thinner through it.

The best advice I can give is to just practice. Watch some videos on youtube.

if you want a compressor get a 1 gallon compressor I found them cheaper than the air brush pumps which will cause sputtering seeing they have no tank and pump the air straight out

Also get a dual action paint gun they are nice I have a single action and honestly between the 2 once I got the dual I never touched the single again I think I got mine for $25 from china if I remember right
A decent setup can cost around $100 if you look carefully
