Looking to inject waxoyl into the sills and box sections and may need a compressor.
Need something small since I don't have much space to store it.
Would a 6L 5cfm one be enough? Don't need it to spray under the car, just inject into box sections.

I have found Bilt Hamber S50 is generally more effective, and is more convenient to spray being an aerosol with an extended nozzle for cavities.

If thats the only reason you need a compressor, it might be worth checking out Bilt Hambers cavity wax aerosols instead, they come with long probes with just about the best diffuser i've used, never had a single blockage using them.
Made short work of all the cavities doors and inside the ladder chassis on my Prado, much cleaner to use too.

edit, beaten to it, agreed.

AHH ok, reason I ask is that I already have 10L of waxoyl lying around so thought I'd use it

My kid also wants to start painting small tamiya car models so was wondering if these small compressors would be enough

I have a 50 litre compressor, use it for cavity wax with no problems, and spraying old land rovers.
Once you have one, you will find loads of uses for it!

5CFM is more than enough.

I dont think thats enough personally, my 24 L screwfix job which i think is close to 6 cfm wont run a proper wax gun correctly. I would check the specs on your intended equipment.
