Hi There,
Does anyone have a decent Air Compressor for sale or rent in Melbourne area? I am after something good enough to spray a kombi in matt black.

Also if anyone can recommend a make and model, that would be great

Cheers

they sell them and all the gear and they aint to bad well good enough to do what you want to do

make sure you get as big a tank as possible....their $89 ones are too small really...also get a water filter for the gun, supanaff guns are fine for the job...just done mine with supanaff, no worries...

I personally recommend McMillan. A 12 CFM unit would just about do the job, but the $900 pricetag might hurt. Still I've had my McMillan 16CFM for 15 years and it still goes great.

Minimum 12cfm and 50L tank required.

Thanks for the replies!

BTW - Whats a water filter?

I saw a 50L, 2.5HP Warrior belt drive compressor at a big Mitre 10 sale on the weekend for $280 (down from $400). I was gonna get it but it said 206 L/minute out of the pump, which did'nt seem enough (around 7cfm i think)

when the air is compressed the moisture in it condenses to form droplets which can ruin your paint job; the filter is to remove these droplets prior to the compressed air reaching the gun. I have a compressor you can borrow if you like, I don't know how many cfm it is however it will be fine for a basic flat black job if that is what you are planning; call me I am in Brighton......I have used it to paint 2 pack primer etc it seems to have enough puff.:birthday

Hey thanks for that - very generous offer too! Would you know if its a belt drive or direct drive? I've had a few people tell me not to use a direct drive for a kombi as it will burn the motor ou - that would be the last thing I'd want to do, so just checking with ya!!!
Cheers

I take it people don't sell these often?

Like most tools, peopl buy them to keep, and sell them if they are a problem.
