Petrol air compressor

[superfly]

Hi lads,

I am wondering something as I was flying through the ad.

I saw a compressor Dyna power 5.5HP 100LT which work with Petrol not electric, and I am wondering if it is a good idea to get something like for painting.

I have the compressor in a separate room at the moment but my compressor is small it is 2hp and 100Lt, which is a bit small for painting.
I can run an air feed mask for example.

Some tool a going for cheap around here so I am wondering if a petrol compressor is a good idea, they seems to generally are big in HP and smaller tank then electric one.

Thanks for the help

and often have a very cheep short lived chineese honda rip off motor,

also they have lrge engine output relative to compressor displacement, they tend to use a 5hp engine in place of a 2hp electric motor
