Need abit of advice about them really.

I only want a small, cheap one so i can use an air gun, grinder etc. Maybe even a bit of spraying.

Ive found this one: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=280703868983

But unsure if it will be any good at all, bearing in mind it wont have lots of hard use. I understand the CFM thing and thats the highest one i can find below like £250. The only thing i dont understand is the tank size, does it really matter if its only 24litres aslong as the pump can keep up with the tool(s) i will be using? Or will i be better off spending more money on one with a bigger tank.

I would look to get a bigger tank , I have a 200 lt one and when I'm painting/ drilling/ grinding it is constantly filling itself up

You have a sealey one dont you ron?

Ive seen it in pics on your project thread and have been looking at them. But for a decent one its like £300+.

The reason i want it is because my boot lid is rusty and im picking a new one up tomorrow. Which needs some rust grinding and and welded back up, then smoothed and spraying.

Im more than happy to give it all ago myself apart from the welding and i dont want to spray the boot lid with aerosole cans. Also i will save me time and money in the long run with spraying, having access to an airgun etc
