    you can probably get a testor's starter kit from a hobby shop. I think you can get one for $30 at the one I got mine from, and they still have a couple more if I'm not mistaken. If you can't find any out your way, gimme a PM , and I'll see if my hobby shop still has one of them there.

    I like the testors air cans. Cheap and effective.
