I'd say you would need something around 150 litre capacity to comfortably paint a mini (going steady)

Painting uses loads of air.

With something small like the above you will be struggling to paint one panel at a time before it runs out of puff.

Id be doing it in steps,

Inside
Roof
Outside
Front
Doors
Boot


What do you meen by runs out of puff jack?

Thanks

A compressor thats too small will not hold enough air to feed the gun whilst it produces more.

So half way through painting a panel, you lose pressure. And painting half a panel at a time is not the best idea.
