i was gonna say that. definatly. if it runs out of steam mid pass it'll look shite.

[GWtaylor]

thanks

 

bloody hell i didnt realise how much they are only had 200 to spend on one or am i just looking in the wrong places

 

 

Just found out that they have stopped making etch primer due to the new regulations coming in

[xpackken]

we still get etch prime . but are sysem is now waterbased its ok but flash times are a pain in the arse ..

 

i just got a 2hp airmaster 50 litre tank 50litre reciever on ebay for 100 quid . it will do small jobs and then ill just take the biggys like full respray in to work ..

If u buy second hand I'd recommed replacing the pressure releif valve and checking the inspection holes in the receiver to make sure its not badly corroded in side. Remember for spraying you should use a water and oil collector and decent regulator so you'll need to factor this in when buying a new one if its not included.

 

I bought mine out the local paper, a big b*gger with a load of tools, air line and other odds and sods for 120 quid.

yeah try anf get a bigger one.

 

i use a piddly little thing and i have to wait for it to fill up every 5 mins...

 

also get a pressure regulator as when the pressure starts to drop it fecks your spray

I just got a Sealey 50L - 8.3cfm off Flea Bay for £107 with a list price of £300 and when it arrived it had come direct from Sealey with 12 months warranty!

I've been toying with the idea of a compressor but not sure what to buy?

 

Would a 60ltr 2.5 hp compressor run any other tools apart from just a spray gun? E.G air sander, cutting tool etc etc

 

Anyone shed any light would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance ian

its not down to the horse power mate, its air displacement, the higher the better

[Twinkle]

heres my one, 150l tank and 15cfm, great fun all those air tools got this one from a machine mart dealer, give them a call and ask for returns to save even more

OK, the one i'm looking at is 9.01cfm 255 ltr/min would this be powerful enough to run sanders and cutters well?

 

cheers ian
