>I could do with around 15CFM air output
Richard - if, as seems likely, you need 15CFM Free Air Delivered
(FAD) you'll need something bigger than a 13A socket to plug it into.
My compressor is borderline for running off a domestic ring main; if
I remember right it was listed as 14CFM but the FAD (which many don't
advertise too loudly!) is more like 10CFM, so it struggles to keep
going with my small HVLP spraygun. The air demand for a tool is
stated in FAD terms, and 15CFM sounds like the requirement for an
industrial-grade HVLP spray gun. BTW, if the guy is going to be
spraying 2-pack (ie noxious) paint he'll need the second compressor
to drive an air-fed mask (I imagine he'll have one of those as car
paints can be quite unhealthy).
The above electricity comments apply to UK 240v systems - other
countries will have different supply limitations.
