Most single action airbrushes (push the trigger, out goes the paint, no control on the air-paint mix) go for 10 Euros at your local hobby stores.

 

Those are more than enough to prime and to base coat.

 

Highlighting... I guess its possible for large flat areas (for example, the sides of a tank, but not the sponsons or similar), but it would take quite a bit of practice.

 

As for the airsource (which is really important), decent compressors go for 50-60 Euros: run away from canned air, its EXPENSIVE and with 6 or 7 of those bottles, you would have already bought the compressor. Besides they are not that good at delivering a constant air pressure.

 

Hope it helps :P
