Pop Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 A few years ago I was going to spray paint my jigs but I never have, always been dipping and now trying powder paint. But I am still thinking about spray painting. I did originally purchase a compressor from Sears. The compressor is a Craftsman Industrial, 1.5 HP, 4.0 Gallon Tank, and Delivers 4.7 SCFM @ 40 PSI AND 3.3 SCFM @90 PSI. Since I will now be using this in my garage attached to my home and not the shop I don't have any longer, is there a compressor better suited for me. Something quieter and smaller but still would spray vinyl paint. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeminoleFan Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 I would suggest that you go no lower than a 2 gal air tank. 4 gal should be fine. The smaller the tank the more the motor will kick on. As for quite and small try http://www.harborfreight.com they have a compressor for about 99.00 that is specifically designed for airbrushes. I believe that the larger tank is the way to go. due to the fact the no air pressure is lost to the brush. Hope this helps.
