im looking for some advice please.
looking to have a crack at spraying my shell myself.
i understand all of the prep work that i need to do and that is all sorted.
just need to know what size compressor i will need to paint my corsa.
would it be best to hire one or buy a cheap one?? wont be using it for air tools and probably wont use it again after i have painted it.
also what type of paint gun do i need please

Id hire a good compressor with a gravity fed gun.
I've got a cheap compressor and they dont keep the pressure up for long enough without it running all the time. If your only using one once i would defo hire one

not that bad to keep it running all the time just its better to have a more constant pressure to the gun
not sure if a hired one would come with the gun

just hire the biggest compresser you can and the best gun you can get hold of you should be fine dude.
cheap/small compressers run out of air and cheap guns spray orange peely so try to get best you can afford etc

plus if ur doing it in your garage you will have to have a good temparature you will have all sorts ov problems too hot or too cold
Too cold the paint will take too long to go off which would take days to dry, also the paint would run easy and if laquaring it will end up looking milky.
Too hot you could end up with dry spray orange peel and the paint blistering
hope this helps m8
