Advice on Air compressors

Morning All,

I am looking for some advice on choosing an air compressor, I have been trawling the tinternet but I am coming across advice which isn't very relevant to what I want to use it for, so here goes:

I am an enthusiastic amateur woodworker, I build furniture for the house/garden and do general DIY nothing Pro or too heavy duty, I am looking for an air compressor that is specced appropriately to do the following:

Nailing: mainly brads, but occasionally framing.

Spraying: wont be spraying cars etc, just small pieces of furniture, doors, preservative on fences.

The compressor will probably be used a couple of times a week at most.

Not hugely bothered about additional tools, but it would be nice if the chosen compressor had enough ooomph in case I did want to add to my air tools, but main concern is nailing and spraying.

I have seen a lot of conflicting advice, some say that you need at least a 50ltr tank to even consider doing any spraying at all, others seem be of the opinion you can get on with tanks much smaller. getting a bit confused as to what I should be looking out for, any help greatly appreciated.

budget wise I would like to keep under £250.

 

Thanks Phil the Paver and FatHands, that clarke tiger looks ideal.
