Title: Air compressors???
Post by: oldschoolace on September 01, 2012, 01:57 PM

Anyone know owt about air compressors? Seen this going cheap and need to know if its capable of spraying 2 pack stuff for bike frames and furniture lacquer for work. I know the capacity will restrict the usable usage time between full tanks but is it ok for the odd frame or cabinet door or will it just piss me off?  :-\

So am i right in thinking if it displaces around 175 litres a min and the tank holds 25 litres you only get around 8 seconds of usable air before the pump kick in and you have to wait for a while?  :-\
