Konrad Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 ... and what the hell! I ordered air compressor few days ago for reasonable price to try and have a go with spray guns and other air tools. I thought it will be reasonable size one, until I unpacked box and literally drag it out The thing is heavy, huge, little noisy, but can keep up to 3 bar constant pressure without loosing any air from 50 litre tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Cool. I bought something similar a few weeks ago, same size etc. First one they delivered worked fine but had obviously been damaged, there was a rattle in the tank and some of the plastic bits were broken. So they sent a replacement, but haven't collected the damaged one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Compressors are way cool. I got one a couple of months ago for my spraying project. I keep finding myself almost buying air tools on a daily basis - so far I've resisted, but I'm pretty sure a tyre pressure gauge/inflator is soon on the cards.

Terminator Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 3HP is the lowest you should go for whole car spraying. Anything smaller is really just for touch-ups and won't cope well with a good quality gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything smaller is really just for touch-ups and won't cope well with a good quality gun. That was also advice of the guy in Jawel Paints depot. I actually will spray things like front bumper, front wings, maybe rear bumper, so this one should be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
