Compressor Oil Treat
them to some TLC. They do
need oil! You’d be surprised
how many compressors we find
with empty sumps. We
recommend oil “a” for the Fini Pioneer compressor and oil
“b” for the Clarke Pioneer and Raider compressors. The
Shhh...Air compressor uses synthetic oil.

Compressors
The compressors that Flints stocks are mainly used by scenic artists to
power their spray guns or by technicians requiring air for nailers and
staple guns. Most of the ones we list are easily portable so that they can
be lifted into the boot of a car for work in a variety of locations.
Consideration should be given to the air output from the compressor.
Almost any compressor will achieve the pressure needed but it is the
volume of air which is important. The popular SATAJet 1000 B RP spray
gun will use around 7.1 cfm at full tilt whereas the SATAminijet 3000 B
HVLP uses around 4 cfm. As scenic work normally involves stop/start
spraying they will operate satisfactorily from small portable compressors
giving upwards of 7 cfm. Be careful though, because some HVLP guns use
large quantities of air [the SATAjet 4000 HVLP uses 15.2 cfm] and really
require large fixed-installation compressors [please phone for details of
larger units]. Flints has spent a lot of time looking at the compressor
market and has not found it possible to source a truly rugged unit that
can still be easily transported in the boot of a car. The compressors we
list will not withstand continuous use at full pelt. They should, however,
provide reasonable service for the freelance painter for two or three years
so long as they are treated with a little care and given some oil from time
to time. Choose a unit with some spare capacity to ensure a good service
life and please spare a moment to read the instructions!
