starting to venture into airbrushing and was wondering if this is a good airbrush. I want to start painting motocross and motorcycle helmets but don't really know what I need equipment wise. Also if anyone recommends a good paint gun to spray primer or clear coat please let me know! Thanks

Iwata Eclipse CS is a work horse of an airbrush . With practice you can do fine detail with it.
I use Sata spray guns For small things like helmets I use http://www.coastairbrush.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MINIJET4
But like I have said it all comes down to making a budget and finding good equipment with in that budget.

My 3 eclipse are my first line of brushes. Great for larger work and some detail. Use them all the time,

This brush is the only one I use, and I love it. I mainly do automotive (bikes), but find it is a great all rounder, and very versatile as it has up to a 2 inch wide spray pattern for larger areas, and can go down to super fine lines too once you get to know it, and are comfortable with your air/paint/reduction ratios. (There's a link to my FB page in my sig if you want to see what it can do in the hands of a wannabe, so bear in mind a great ABEr could do even more, but should give an idea anyway)

For basecoating larger areas and priming, a brand name mini HVLP is just the job.

I love my eclipse! !!!!! Great for almost any application. Illustration, automotive, large areas, fine detail.....Doesnt matter, the eclipse is up to the task. The one term you're going to hear over and over about this gun.....WORK HORSE. If you plan to buy only one airbrush for all your needs..... This is it.
