Air compressor - finally.
Step one finally complete. Got a bigger compressor. Not a Quincy or Speedaire but should push enough air for me. Sears 60 gal 3 HP. Wanted better but for $360 (reg $730) from the store couldn't say no. Happy Father's Day to me. (And all of you Dads out there)
Enough saved that I can get this:
HVLP Jaguar SLP Spray Gun

Gun: 13.5 cfm at 29 psi inlet pressure
Compressor: SCFM Delivery: 12.9 SCFM at 40 psi
I figured a .6 SCFM difference may be compensated for since the gun needs that much more at 29 psi and the compressor can put out 12.9 at 40 psi. Anyway I don't intend to paint a vehicle. Just parts like you mentioned. A fender here a hood there. Motorcycle farings. Small stuff.
It should be close enough for my needs. The compressor is sold out now - gone. Glad I moved on it when I did.
