I'm getting a compressor as I need one for sandblasting, painting, and all the other stuff that one can do with such a thing.
as I'm a dummy however, I'll need a little guidance.
Compressor I'm getting has a regulator built it. Of course I'll need an oil separator before the spray gun, will i also need another regulator before this too? And for other tools, drivers etc?
Filters?
How many hoses - maybe daft question.. but i guess you'll need a hose between reg- filter - maybe second reg- tool..?
For reference in looking at this compressor..http://www.sipuk.co.uk/sip-06278-airmate-pb3800b-150s-protech-oil-lubricated-air-compressor-230v.html 150 litres, 3hp 9.5 cfm fad
what else should i be getting please?

How much sandblasting do you intend doing?
Basically the bits of the car that I cant reach with other tools. I know I'll never get a professionals blasting power with home level gear.
