Hey all, I am wanting to pick up a cheap air compressor to buy, borrow, rent, steal.. na not steal but yea, something that is powerfull enough to be used for spray painting and that. I am thinking about painting the Gixxer, TZR, van and my bro prolly wants to paint his bike as well.

MR they sell them at repco and super cheap autos, for like $129 or something stupid like that they be okay for a bike, but might be a little small for a van

One of these things and a HVLP gun will work wonders. ('course a good gun costs more than the compressor).

yeh the little compressor( i bought one) works great for fairings just watch the pressure. I don't think that one is big enough for a van though. I bought mine from bunnings and it came with all the little attachments and stuff for like i think $129 or $139 or something. Pretty cheap

Id go for the bigger compressor if you can hold of one. Other wise motor struggles to keep up, they have just enough power to run one of our nail guns on a short hose.
hehe thought this thread might have been about beemers. Hopefully i avnt offended anyone :D :bash: :doobey: :bleh:
