You'll want to, just to work more on your builds!
Welcome!
If you have a local shop, like I do, that may determine which paint brand you start with... even if just to see what they have, and easily accessible should you run out, etc.
Check out if they have brand compatible thinner, primer and clear coat too. I'm just experienced enough to know they don't all play well together...there are a few threads with many opinions on that here as well.
Have fun!
Oh, and even if you buy an airbrush or use rattle cans, you will still need brushes for detailing: I think you are better off getting better brushes at a craft/art store, than the branded 'modeler brushes' which may not be as good, for the price.
