There is some chatter on-line about this tool. Anybody have one or no additional info. Looks cool

Save your money !!! Get a true air brush set up . I say this from personal ( I was a Dummy and got rooked into trying it ) experience ! air cans were inconsitant , trigger likes to stick and will empty a can pretty quick . Not real impressed with the colors . It went back to where it came from . But this is just my 2 cent opinion . You will get more detail out of a real air brush .

Cool...thanks why I like the site!

I agree, get a real airbrush set up not much more money than what you listed or can easily go into the ozone.
A good starter kit http://www.tcpglobal.com/ABD-KIT-SP7B-20.html#.VOjCGfnF_-g
or if you wanna compete with the pro's http://www.tcpglobal.com/ABD-KIT-4207T-MASTER.html#.VOjCzvnF_-g

Seriously though, get the best gun you can afford, IWATA makes great ones and keep it meticulously clean. Until you learn about keeping it clean though, I would suggest an inexpensive gun. I started with this one http://www.tcpglobal.com/MAS-G222-SET.html#.VOjDnPnF_-g
and a badger 150 that someone took apart and could not reassemble properly. Having the different tips is useful until you learn trigger controland how to mix your paint and keep the gun spotless.

I bought an airbrush last night at Michael's. 159.00, but I had a 50% off coupon, so it was 80 bucks.

Waiting to see results!!

It's going to be awhile. I've never touched an airbrush. I don't have a compressor, but I have an old Cpap machine that I'm hoping to convert if I can figure out the connections. I've read of people stacking fish aquarium pumps to use and a Cpap can blow those away, so it "Should" work. The pressure settings will be different, but a person should be able to play with it and dial it in. I gotta get a respirator too.

I've spent more money this weekend than I needed too. Picked up my Ruger 327 Mag out of layaway. Ordered some jig heads, fixing to order more jig heads, bought the airbrush, a few tools at harbor freight, wife bought a bunch of beading supplies....I'm so broke, I can't pay attention

Nice airbrush gun. I've seen cheap compressors out there. You can start with the cans.

I gotta get a respirator too.

I found them for cheap at Harbor Freight. Problem is you really need to change out the filters often for them to be fully effective.

Nice - been wanting an SP101 for ages, but haven't justified the expense yet.

Know what you mean. Just paid of another semester of college tuition.
