No down time due to waiting for air makes the angle grinder a no brainer.

I've used them on all my suspension components to get off old rust/paint/gunk and I was able to do parts extremely fast. Just make sure you hold on and wear that thick clothing that demacoz mentioned, I've also fallen victim to that.

You can get different types of wire wheel too, have a go with a couple of different types to find one that suits your needs.

Your pic didn't work.

Here you go:

+1 to chucking some spare wheels under the rockers as backup.

I also leave my jack under there too.

As cylons pointed out, now we're talking!

Good to see he doesn't have his head in the clouds thinking he was going to get 25k for it.

This doesn't smell anywhere near as fishy as the other one either. My money is on false bidding through mates accounts to bump up the price for the white sedan.

I'd like to make the same offer, only my wife is heavily pregnant, so it's twice the deal! ...or half

How has this not sold yet?

Ok, so I spoke to one of my mates about this today to double check, and he has told me that the Stanley air compressor will be able to paint fine, so long as you take it slow and go piece by piece. He painted an engine bay with an air compressor with similar specs.

Some air tools that require constant free air like a sander may struggle with the Stanely, but it should do the job. Just check the air tool specifications when you're buying them and that they don't exceed the compressor specifications.

12cfm is equal to about 330l/min. That's the minimum needed for a good, professional job, just to be clear. I'm not a painter though, so I can't give you the specifics as to why that is.

I'm basing my research on personal friends who both work with them professionally and for their own stuff at home. 190l/min is possibly enough to do panel by panel or the odd touch up, but I was told that even with 250l/min it would struggle to do a decent job at painting.

That Stanely unit is definitely good value for money, but you might end up buying another one in the future because of frustration and waiting time. I really think you'd be better off spending the extra cash now and just buying 1 good one.

My research has shown that you get what you pay for with Air Compressors, and you'll need a minimum of 12 FAD for a decent spray job. I'd also recommend a belt driven unit so you don't send yourself (and neighbors) crazy from noise. Unfortunately, I think you need to double your budget to find what you're after.

This is the one I'm planning on getting next month:

It's a good quality unit, and should last a lifetime if well maintained, however even this won't do a good spray job though as it's only 8.4 FAD.
