Just got the compressor and bits back from adil786, so its ready for another project!

This all started with the thread in this section by me called:

leather refurb warning lots of pics

to cut a long story short i purchased a kit from furnitureclinic.co.uk and used this compressor that i robbed off the missus winkeye to spray the various coats onto the seats and interior.

three people have done the same since by borrowing it from me and returning it when they are done. the benefits are time saved and £££.

when ordering from furnitureclinic.co.uk just get the money back from the cost of the spray gun, and tins of compressed air!!

I travel from portsmouth to darlington each week so lots of country covered to drop it off and pick it up. and reap the benefits of a consistent air flow from a compressor! simple.

included is :
spray gun
compressor
hairdryer
all hoses needed

pm me to borrow or any q's in this thread.

I borrowed the kit and it works a treat 8) Will be getting some piccies on here about the repair! Saved me £££s on the stuff from furnitureclinic too

Can't imagine how aweful it is trying to spray with the compressed air cans! Then again, I was unblocking paint from the sprayer every 2 mins - I don't envy body-shop staff! Maybe should have tried watering it down a bit.

Thanks again Steve, and to your girlfriend for letting you lend her compressor to other people :mad: hahaha!
