I'm looking to buy an air compressor in the 4-5,000bht range. Anybody have an opinion on which brand names are reputable. 

Might get a  little Puma for that.

 

What are you wanting to use it for?

Just small stuff, air tires and such. Maybe some spray painting. I saw Puma brand for the larger ones but not the smaller ones, I'll look again. Thanks

 I think they have some small oil-less units at that price.

 

Not going to do any big spray-painting with compressor that size, small stuff may be okay....

Careful with the spray painting idea, your going to need some significant CFM for that and with a small compressor it’s going to be running virtually full time, with many of them not able to put out enough. 
 

I started with a small Puma but needed to upgrade to a 3 cylinder for spraying.

I have a similar, older model about this size. Reliable for the jobs you want to do. As others have cautioned, not big enough for painting seriously.

I'll have another look for the Puma brand, thanks.

The Puma listed above may prove a disappointment for painting. It is a very LOUD model. A Puma with a Mitsubishi or Hitachi electric motor will not be under 5000 baht. It will be a much better long term purchase and will run at a reasonable sound level. TEST the air compressor in any store before you spend your money. Bring ear plugs for the Puma series shown above.
