That's right Larry. I used to use a 5HP (yeah... right...) 33 gallon, single stage Sears compressor to spray and it worked just fine spraying cars. It puked when you tried to run a DA, but it certainly sprayed just fine. Suction guns will work just fine with under 10 SCFM. I have Binks and DeVilbiss guns so I'd say they meet the previous poster's definition of "good spray guns".

OK thanks guys

I think I may try one of the spray guns rated for my compressor

fairly thin (watery) finishes. it has stainless innards so it's ok with waterbase stuff. it'll spray laquer fine, but don't expect it to perform well with latex paint or heavy varnish.

it's cheap, too. $40. the same gun is sold a bunch of places at around $100.

Well, in the spirit of the wrec, with a slight modification for the subject matter, You blow!

I stopped at Rocklers on the way home and picked up a Devilbiss Finishline gun.

OK how do I use this th> Regarding the Devilbiss Finishline, have a look at the specs at Highland > Hardware: >
