Morning all!

Apologies for bringing this up again, but I am looking to buy a smallish compressor. I;ve read through a lot of the older threads, and I have a good idea of what I need it for, but I have no idea where the bargains are to be had!

My main use is going to be painting, both with an airbrush, and a slightly larger spray gun for larger areas. Space is at a premium in my garage, so I don't need a massive great thing, especially as I can't ever see the need for running air tools off it.

As I'll be using it for airbrush work, it would be really useful to have a decent regulator/pressure gauge, and the availability of an oil/moisture/crap trap would be good too.

Sooo, does anyone know of any good bargains out there? I've had a look at he usual places, like screwfix and machine mart, but nothing has caught my eye yet.

Cheers
Andy

If space is a concern look at upright compressors.One here

Try looking at Makro if you have one locally.

Try your local free ads for a used compressor S/H you may get a larger one for less than a new smaller one . I know space is at a premium but it's worth getting a larger one if you can!

How about something like this:

I hope the link works....

They seem pretty cheap, and are shiped from germany, which figures as about 1/2 to 1/3 of the cost...

I'll check out Makro in Chester this afternoon, as I am driving right past! I never thought of going there!

Cheers
