    Might jump on this! Any reviews on the bulldog, I know FMINUS has the 5 and 3" ones (I believe)

    Ooh nice deal, I personally prefer the 3inch then the 5inch but just personal preference :shrug:

    Based on what I've heard and seen of the Mirka Bulldog it's a great air sander for paint correction. I thought of just using my PC with abralon pads but I've heard some issues in regards to the weight on the machine on horizontal panels like hood, roof and trunk.

    I wanted to get the 3" but it's regular price and I can live with the 5 inch for now. I'll give it a go. BTW DSMS if you want to go with the 3" instead it works out to be about the same price as the 5 inch if you get the abralon pads as well. I think the 3 inch on their site is 134.95US and a box of pads is like $23 ish? I think.

    Now all I have to do is buy a minimum 60 gallon compressor lol.

    Hope you guys enjoy the find.

    Cheers,

    I'm not too sure about needing 60 gallon for the three. I think you just have to be more concerned about the cfm. I forgot how much the bulldog uses in terms of the 5 inch so I am definitely not sure how many the 3 inch uses.

    I'm on the hunt for a compressor right now. I just want a larger one so the actually compressor isn't constantly running if I'm sanding a full car down.

    *UPDATE*

    DSMS and whomever else is thinking of purchasing. The company apparently made a mistake in the posting of the item. The sale is not for a 5" but rather the 6". I just called them as I noticed the typo. I have cancelled my order.

    Sorry about that guys.

    Cheers,
    Nick
