Thanks Man. To get started spraying, I literally bought the cheapest Chinese made 25 gallon air compressor, & Paint Sprayer that I could find. Add hoses fittings and Cerakote and total was 200 dollars, (about 160 quid.). Not sure how it is across the pond but I shop at harbor freight to buy cheap Chinese made tools. I go to their website and read the reviews before go in and pick them up. A lot of it is garbage but I've used the compressor, and welder on several big jobs, its paid for itself. Is that what your askin?

Nothing wrong with that. Spray paint has come along way in the last 10 years. If you sand it then wipe it down with acetone first then Primer/Paint/Clear/Clear and lightly sand with 800 grit in between coats it'll be real durable. These are small enough spray jobs, that I've thought about using spray cans to save some money.
