Well, I'm allowing myself to splurge on my birthday and buy myself something nice, but something that will also help the small business here. So the choices have come down to;

1. a 2.5 Horsepower compressor (12cfm) combined with 2 HVLP gravity feed spray guns and the usual fittings (ie regulators etc)

2. a 10amp plug gas/gasless MIG welder and related little parts and a helmet/gloves.

both are quite usefull and ive been hunting around for them lately, spray kit is obvious what I'd use it for, bikes need better paint than I'm providing at the moment. averages about $250 plus about $150 for guns.

MIG welder means I can once again weld up my own custom exhausts and intakes, fix frames, make some fun modifications and fabricate new parts again. average price for a gasless / gas mig with all the little accessories is about $450
