The compressor was clean to begin with, so after 2 degreasings it was
totally ready to get painted.


Looks nice, Iggy. Out of curiosity, is the tank output (where the gauge
is
mounted) a 1/2" NPT or a 1/4" NPT? I recently picked up a newer and
bigger
compressor compared to my little old one, but the output is only 1/4" NPT
where the other one was 1/2" NPT.


This tank has "outputs" on its ends, the top is for mounting the gauge
and regulator, and as such, 1/4" NPT is enough for that. The ends are
3/4" NPT pipe thread, I believe.


Alright, thanks Iggy. I can see them on the pictures now that I'm looking.
