Hey guys,
Thinking about picking up one of these HVLP gravity feed spray guns..
http://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-low-pressure-gravity-feed-spray-gun-66222.html
Specs say 12 CFM @ 15-45 PSI. I have a little 2 gallon shop compressor that specs out at .50 CFM @ 40 PSI. I was looking for compressors that support 12 CFM and they tend to be pretty large/expsnsive units.
My two questions are ..
1) What is the smallest compressor I can get good results with? If I am running the gun at the minimum 15 PSI can I cut the CFM requirememnt way down?
2) I really want to spray acrylic latex because of the easy clean up but the instructions indicate it might be a little too high in viscosity for this sprayer. Is there a better HVLP sprayer to use?
Thanks for any advice!
