My DIY compressor

Recommended Posts

This is my 'home made' compressor to power my Premi-Air G35!

This is an Angel Air paintball air bottle,1.5 litre rated at 4500psi.It has a digital regulator so i can set the psi really accurately.This is connected via a piece i made at work some time ago to the water trap/regulator but seeing as the air we use is filtered(bottles filled from dive centres) i can't see it catching much!!

Here you can see the output pressure,set at 110psi

All in all i'm very pleased with it and its save me a small fortune.Having been to RDG Tools to pick up the reg+hose,i saw the compressor i was going to buy on the shelf,it's tiny!!

No wonder they get hot.

ps,if the picture on the tank insults anyone then i'll take it down :whistle:

10psi? doesnt the paint come out in blobs?

It was just to show it working,that's all

I'm using Alclad2 which needs to be sprayed at 15/20psi
