air compressor questions?
my dad got a new air compressor for xmas, and i want to get him an all purpose painting gun.
The compressor is 3 1/4 hp
20 gallon
150 PSI
im wondering if i could get some good tips on a solid one for performance/reliablity
prices doesnt matter...to a point obviously
and im curious how far i can get with an air compressor painting gun...
Cars? Decks? Cabinets? etc...help please!!
The biggest thing to be concerned with when using a paint gun is what kind of quality that you are expecting from the gun. The compressor you mentioned is also probably gonna be short on VOLUME, that is very different from pressure. With only a 20 gallon tank, it will all depend on the CFM rating (cubic feet per minute) that the compressor is capable of. In other words, will the compressor be able to keep up with the gun on long term use.
On the type or brand of a paint gun.... that again depends on the quality and type of painting that you are going to be doing. For automotive paint and primer you will want a different needle size between using paint, clear and primer. I would suggest an HVLP (high volume low pressure) gun. You get better material coverage and less over spray. You can pick up an HVLP gun at Home Depot, Lowe's or local auto parts store for under $100.00 that will do well for DIY projects. If you want to upgrade once you have learned some technique in using paint guns, you can easily spend upwards of $400.00 for a professional HVLP gun with more than one control setting and different needle sizes..
Hope this helps..
