Can I use this compressor with a paint gun as well?

Good compressor for painting, you can adjust the pressure for different paints. I used mine to prime and paint all the exposed rafters in a catheral ceiling before I put them up. Might need a water separatot to paint cars.

Yes. I do, but I had to purchase a water separator connection and a male connection in order for it to connect with the air hose that came with the compressor.

Yes, you can use any type of sprayer. That is exactly why bought this in addition to my compressor for my nail guns. I don't know about recovery rates but I'm sure that with an HVLP gun you could paint a car for example. Probably even with a HPLV gun! However, if you are going to be doing *daily* commercial work, you need to upgrade to a real Heavy Duty machine.

I'm using this air compressor "Makita MAC2400 Big Bore 2.5 HP Air Compressor" for Nail gun. The Nail gun works perfectly.

I use a 15 gallon 3 hp compressor. Approx $100-$150 at home depot I think. I'm not sure of this gun sets requirements, I ended up returning this set it didn't spray too well and made a honking sound. If u are looking for using a spray gun with a smaller.compressor...look into a low volume low pressure gun set.

It will probably do fine. My problem with this unit was that it didn't last very long. No air compressor is required. I don't know why you would need 2 coats of primer. I generally get by with 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint unless you get cheap paint. The Poly top coat may require a different nozzle size than the paint and primer. It is generally quite a bit thinner. Good luck!

I'm using a portable 6 gallon 150 psi pancake compressor made by Stanley. It's fine for my basement/garage projects using any of my 3 nail guns.

Yes you can. However, the single action of the brush will only allow you to change air pressure and the amount of paint being shot out. Using a double action brush will allow you to change line variance and spray pattern during the process of painting.

Yes you can. If you use an external regulator I also recommend placing an accumulator tank between the regulator and compressor. I use a 70 cu in Bimba tank purchased from a surplus shop for my accumulator. It also keeps the compressor from cycling on as frequently.

Yes to paint a car you need 30 to 40 psi and this air compressor could sustain that preasure easy. Although you would have to use an air filter and water separator to get clean air.

Hi - Really, any compressor will do from a pancake to a double tank beast. The gun uses very little flow per cycle and operating pressure [more important] averages out to be about 110 psi for best results. If you cycle the gun very quickly a lower flow rate will tell but I doubt it will be important for your work. This is the best pin nailer I have used to date and has a multitude of uses for fine work and repairing such things as fractured clapboards and split furniture also ... molding goes up and the holes are just about nonexistent. Have fun with it - DB

This will not work for paint. Paint requires a large amount of air. To do continuous painting you will probably need to go to a gas powered compressor and if it is a one time job I would consider renting one instead of buying a large compressor. Aside from the extra money a large compressor takes more room to store and is louder when it runs this small compressor is great for finish work and small projects stores easily and is easy to lift and move around.

That should be fine, I use a 29 gallon 2hp compressor and an additional 21 gallon tank. but have also used my 6 gal portable for these guns.

I wouldn't think so. I have not done any spray painting so a Iam by no means an expert. I would think the key to even application of paint is constant pressure. This compressor cycles frequently to keep pressure in the tank. Note I am using for airing up automobile tires. Spray painting may draw less volume down and thus the compressor maybe fine depending on the air requirement of the paint spray gun.Good Luck

No I haven't use my compressor for blasting parts before painting..I use my compressor mainly to inflate tires and remove the wheels....

Either will work but it will all depend on duration of use. Used compressors can be found on ebay for fairly cheap. Also a small tool compressor will work as well if you can regulate the level of psi. Air cans over time will add up in cost and could easily surpass the cost of a compressor. Air cans are great for work where no power is available and for light spraying. I use my Paasche for spraying firearm finishes and a compressor was the way to go for that. I use both a Paasche I bought used from ebay as well as a large shop tool compressor that has a air cleaner and psi regulator.

No, It wont work for paint job. Usually paint sprayer are set at lower psi than nailers but even with that on your favor this compressor will not keep up with the supply needed for paint sprayer.

Yes, You need an air compressor to make it work. The air pressure is depend upon the paint you are using.
