Hi mate,

I was just browsing air compressors out of curisity and found
http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/58_5174.htm just wondering what you
think and if it would conformtable power spray guns and mini ones ?

Couldn't see the cfm rating though.

Don't worry not shelling out on one, still sticking with aerosoles for
this project just wondering.

I've got that exact machine in my shed. There's an equivalent figure - 270
litres per min. If I recall correctly, that's about equivalent to 8.5cfm
(cubic feet a minute), so yes, it'd run a spraygun for small jobs. I'd not
use it to spray a car, but I'd be happy to do a bumper or a door with it.
The spraygun that comes with it looks just about OK for use as a primer gun,
which is a bonus. IIRC my Devilbiss is rated as using about 14CFM, but in
practice it never uses that, as you probably only have the trigger depressed
about 70% of the time, and if you're only doing small panels you'll only do
a few swipes and then you're waiting for the paint to flash off.

As I said before, the same kit is sold by wolf air for around £100. It's
certainly much better value than the cheap machine mart compressors.
