I have a few spraying jobs to do on a car im doing up and the biggest panel is a bonnet so just wondering if this would be big enough to spray a bonnet?
Has to be able to run a decent gun too as finish is important something like a Devlbiss or Iwata,
For the price and 3 year warranty if its upto the job look like a cracking deal,
Advice..

That'll do the job ok if you're using a gravity fed, you might have to let the little fella catch up a bit between coats but for one panel at a time jobs it should be fine.

Do you know if this will automatically top up the tank as you use it?

should do when it drops to a certain pressure,it will kick in.

Don't be fooled by the figures given.
Air displacement is used to make a small compressor seem much better than it actually is.
Free Air Delivery is the important one & it is always considerably less than the displacement figure.
Having said that, it is likely that it will be fine with a gravity fed gun although I expect it will run continuously during spraying.
I use a 2hp for SMART repairs with small guns, but I did successfully spray the bonnet of my Range Rover Classic (metallic, so basecoat plus clearcoat) with a normal size gravity feed spraygun fitted with a 1.4 setup. It managed to keep up with the gun's demand but it was a close run thing!
