Hi there

i am looking at buying a compressor so i can learn how to paint spray and do some general tasks with it, underseal car, strip small areas of car, inflate tyres etc, but don't know what one to buy and don't know much about them to be honest.
i only want to spend the maximum of £200 with the attachments if possible.
i have been told to get a wolf 50l of which attachments are included for £170, and also a draper one but does not come with the fitments either.

Please can you advise and if there are any others on the market that are better.

Thank you

Nibs

you'll be lucky to find a 50L compressor that will be up to spraying, I have a 3hp one and it would just about do a small car, but the motor would be running permanently for the last bit I'm sure.

Ebay, The biggest receiver you can find coupled with the highest output motor/pump.

It is truly not worth cheaping out on a compressor.
