Ingersoll Rand compressor

[Skinner]

Hi all

Been looking at starting spraying for several weeks now as im keen to learn for projects and repair cars/vans.

Ive been looking at a ingersoll rand es300t compressor is belt type that sits on top of the tank and inside a case says its 240v which looks to be right as i think i can see a capacitor on the motor.

What i dont know is, is this overkill for spraying? not sure of the cylinder size? could be 50 0r 75 litres from looking but the compressor looks a beast and its got a separate filter drier unit.

so guess what i need to know is how many litres do i need and and what compressor output to keep that cylinder filled with air whilst spraying?

thanks

the bigger the better

Yes, a big machine doing a small job is better tha vice-versa. Once you get a compressor you'll find loads of other things for it to do.
