Which Air Compressor? - Dilligaf76

Can anyone tell me a what sort of air compressor I need to get for spray painting occasional small jobs.

What are your thoughts, is this going to be good enough for what I want?

Also what sort of paint does one use for spraying car/motorcycle parts?

Which Air Compressor? - focussed

Having done some DIY spraying years ago I would say avoid getting into compressors and spray guns if possible. You can do some decent work with good quality aerosols on smallish parts and your choice of paint is made for you in the colour that is usually a decent match for the vehicle. You can even buy two-pack car paint in aerosols nowadays.

Just an example but there are other suppliers:-
