Will this compressor work?

I want to get a pretty cheap compressor to use for a few things, mainly painting my comet. Will this compressor be enough to power a gravity fed spray gun?

I want to use that with this gun, if possible.

In my opinion no. The smallest hp compressor I have used successfully is a 3 hp. But that sucked so I tied 2 - 3hp compressors together and fed them into an old propane tank that I used as a reserve air. But I am sure somebody will chime in that they painted their car with a tire pump and a straw.

 

The gun says it uses 6 cubic ft. per minute and the compressor only puts out .6 at 90 and 1 at 40. So I'd say no way.

 

i once painted my car with a tire pump and a straw!

 

I wasn't in that great of a mood today, thanks for the laugh guys

I'll have to try this one out, I bet it beats a 50 dollar paint job

 

:Nothing_fi cant stop laughing.

 

I once painted a car with a can of rustoleum & a paint brush...:bananaman

 

better than a jar of TESTERS and a tooth pick>

 

That compressor will NOT provide enough volume to paint a little red wagon, much less your car.
At the bare minimum you need a 3 hp compressor to use a HVLP gun and if you are using a standard bleeder gun then you need more compressor and a larger tank.

 

This is what I have now and I want more!

 

Is that a 30 gallon 2 hp?

 

60 gallon 3.5 hp I think

 

It doesn't look tall enough to be a 60 gallon tank and that compressor / motor is smaller than mine.....

 

Nope it's 60 gallon for sure. I got it on sale and it kicks butt except a couple of my air tools keep it busy....but I'm picky. It's made by Campbell Hausfeld. The reserve is great.
