I'm looking at getting an airbrush kit for my prints and for my wife's crafts. Can anyone recommend a good kit since I know nothing about it? All feedback appreciated.

I have a cheap chinese TM80S RIBO aibrush + compressor kit. Works amazingly well for regular thinned down acrylic colors, but don't ever try to put something more viscose like a primer through it, the pressure from the tiny motor is not strong enough.
That said, the kit was only like 50 euros on AliExpress, and will get you familiar with now to use an airbrush and how to take care of it. I also recommend buying an additional nozzle + needle, and don't tighten the nozzle too much, I broke mine :D
