Air Compressor Help

Good deal... worth it if you want to push your budget :)

Massive difference between the one you are looking at in OP and the one at that eBay link ;)
 
Thanks for all of the responses everyone.

I have been having a look at all of the compressors suggested to me as well as trying to look into the requirements of the Schutz gun. If the gun is around the 7 CFM mark then realistically how long would the SGS compressor last for? It would clearly be capable right? It's more how long it will last.

The amount I am spraying really isn't that big and potentially the compressor will be used once. I cannot justify spending more than £100 on one of these unless it is actually needed.

What do you guys think?
 
Then do t waste your money and pay a garage that £100 to do it for you.

Don't waste your money on the compressor you have quoted in your opening post... It will only leave you frustrated and with a bad coating.

Did you even get my email? The options in there is only £120-150... So not pushing your budget far at all and they will do what you want them to.

The eBay deal for £170 is the best of them all though...

Buy the proper kit or pay a garage... Don't waste your money by buying something that won't do what you want it to.
 
A friend of mine has the SGS 24 litre one, and has spray painted a set of wheels and sprayed some bumpers with no issues at all.

I have a jack from SGS and their stuff is reasonably good quality for what you pay!

Paint spray is different from Schutz gun.

For paint spray / air brush... The compressor quoted would be perfectly fine.

For Schutz gun... He at least needs to meet the minimum specifications for the tool... Ideally exceed it.

In OcUK speak... It's like buying a 100W TDP cooler for a 140W CPU...

Paying a garage is pointless as they won't even know what needs doing, not only that but it will cost a lot more than £100. We have sealed it already but appear to have a missed a very small amount. Having the Schutz gun would allow me just to get into where is needed without taking everything out.

I'm also not referring to the compressor in my OP. I'm referring to the one I posted further down: 24 Litre Air Compressor - 9.6CFM, 2.5HP, 24L. From everything you have said surely this will manage the very small amount I need to do? It's just a matter of working out how long it works for until I have to wait again. This is what I have no idea about unless I'm missing something else?

I did get your email and read all of it, I looked at the links as well thank you :) My concern is that really £100 is the top end of my budget.

Thanks again :)

Can anybody tell me roughly how long the compressor below would run the gun that I have also linked further down? Is there any way I can work this out?

I understand a lot of people have stated how the 24L tank will not last very long but can anyone give me an accurate length of time?

  • Tank Size 24 Litres
  • Air Displacement 9.6 CFM
  • Engine Size 2.5 HP
