Airbrush, Gravity or Siphon Feed?

Hey Guys

so i'm gonna buy an airbrush, hard to decide..

i picked up a Siphon feed from this place just to try out, it's a cheapie dual action, but gets the job done.

anyways, so i'm playing around and i discover what a paint in the butt those Siphon feeds can be, changing bottles, pain to clean up, and gotta use lots of paint to cover the siphon even for painting small things such as suspension..


So now i want a gravity feed, so i can use small amounts of paint etc, clean up might be a lil better and faster to change colors, but i'm worried 1/3 OZ is too small when i start to use it to paint full automotive bodies. Do you think i should worry too much about this? I know 1/3Fl Oz is alot of paint, but i'm sure getting a good coverage on the body will come close or may even need more. I guess when i custom mix, i'll be doing it in a different jar anyways and can just transfer over.


Any suggestions guys before i take the plunge?

Thx
