Need help getting set up.

Here is my suggestion.  Micaels and AC Moore and Arts and Craft stores like that sell Badger airbrushes often enough, and fairly good ones for the price.  they ALSO put online and in news papers fairly often, 40-50% off coupons.  I suggest getting one of those coupons and go grabbing maybe a 150-200$ AB and use the coupon to get it donw within your price range.  Also, invest in a compressor, canned air gets expensive fast

Harbor Freight sells em for cheap. If you don't have a store around you, you can check em out online.....

I know some people that use these with great success. And for that price, even if it does break or malfunction some time down the road, buying a new one isn't really a problem.

Good luck and welcome to the forums and back to the hobby!

I was told by a member of my local club that princess auto has a single action airbrush here

I am not sure of anything else about it
