Re: Problem with air gun

Storage tank size has nothing to do with compressor capacity. Think of the tank as a battery and the pump as the charger. Also, most compressor mfg's overstate the output of the pump. I think you will find that your compressor won't keep up with the needs of the detail gun even though the numbers indicate it might. Unless HF is overstating the air needs of their paint guns.

Another problem might be your regulator. If you are using the common 1/4" pipe regulator often included, it could limit the air output to your paint gun.

If your chassis painting involves a bit of painting and some down time while you move, you might be ok. It will show you where any issues are with your current setup.
