The weather has been a little bit warmer over here in the UK these past couple of weeks so I was able to get on and finish the paint on the compressor. I also managed to rewire the motor and that is now working. I opted for Plastikote Metallic Blue which I think turned out ok. Like others have said, if you don't clamp it down it bounces around all over the place. Quite impressed by the volume of air that it moves though.
