Question for anyone that does painting...

[jnjtrukin]

I'm looking to paint some small items like cowls, fairings, helmets, etc... What's the best size, HP, and Max PSI Air Compressor to get for this kind of thing? I won't be doing this as a buisness, just stuff for me tinkering around the garage sort of thing. I'd like to operate some tools of the compressor too such as grinders, and impact wrenches. Any input on what to get/what not to get would be appreciated

Thanks,

Jason

It really depends on the tools you get.. you have to realize that you need to account for more then just PSI.. you need to account for flow rate as well.

Just use spray paint. All that "HP" and "Max PSI" crap is already taken care of.

if you are going to buy an air compressor, might as well get a big one.

at least 25-30 gallon. you can start buying impacts etc...but a 25 gallon like mine kicks on a lot when I paint fairings and a tank. it keeps up but not if I painted anything larger I'm sure.
