Thank You for making this video and explaining so a first timer can understand it. Very helpful! One question if you have time. When you are painting and I will be using a 60 Gallon single stage compressor that meets the cfn of the spray gun. When the compressor does kick on while painting should I stop painting and let the compressor recharge? My first thought is to stop and let it catch up before going on. To give you an idea of my project I will be painting a 1967 Mustang Base paint and Clear Coat. I will be painting Hood,Front Fenders, Doors off the car and then tackle rest of the car. At least that’s the plan, any thoughts from you would be welcomed.
It’s a double edge sword. Stopping and letting it recharge air pressure can help keep spray pattern consistant but stopping and starting will lead to less consistant paint job. With your 60 gallon the pressure loss probably isn’t going to be a huge deal.
Perfect explanation for beginners. I almost just bought the portable pancake one today for the price and portability, but I'm glad I didn't. Now I'm looking for bigger. Thank you.
What an outstanding explanation regarding CFM (cubic ft.per min), as well as horsepower, and tank size. It definitely set specific criteria for novice painter such as myself. I'm using a LvLp R-500 spraygun instead so I have a bit of an advantage for my paint projects. Great job!
Great info! Think of it like you would elecricity or electrical potential. Example: Can a 15 amp receptical handle/run my 1500 watt space heater? To find out, 1500 watts divided by 120 volts = 12.5 amps. This "LOAD" is well within the 80% capacity of the 15 amp receptical. This video demonstrates the importance of determining the compressor's "potential" versus the tool's demand or "the load".
Better to opt to rent a larger compressor for one time usage. Why? Because if you are right at your required cfm rating the compressor will be in a state of constantly running which generates heat. That heat will cause your air to be hot going into a cooler tank where it will CONDENSE and release water that can cause major issues in your paint job. For the above reason you should always have a water separator and have bled your tank prior to painting.
I am DIY lover, i have been looking for an air compressor for a long time but don't know what things to consider. This video helps me a lot! Thank you so much
Hullo Kid I really appreciate how you explain so much to us. Your attitude is very good. I like how you want to learn from others as well as share your opinions. Hope you keep doing more videos exactly this way - great work.
I wanted to watch this video 2 years ago. I spent a lot of time googling both in English and Japanese to figure out what air compressor I need to buy to paint my car.
Great information! Thanks for making it easy to understand. I've recently started chainsaw carving, so I want a compressor that I can use for an airbrush, as an air gun, with a brad nailer, possibly a sander, and I'd like it to be able to handle a paint gun as well for finishing projects. Thanks for sharing this.😊👍
Hello sir, another question if I may... I saw a compressor to buy but there is no indication of what CFM it has.. The major specifications are as follows.. 2.5Hp, 115psi, 8bar, and oil lubricated.. What do you think is 8bar?? Thank you so much..
adjust the pressure cut off and cut in at the on off switch, change the safety valve at 170psi, adjust cut off pressure at around 140 psi to 150 psi, and cut in will be around 110 psi , so that will have enough air for spray, but need to take care the heat on the compressor, also need a water and oil filter.
if you have a smaller tank and want to do hvlp is just cobble on a stronger pump and motor, because oddly enough unless you go well over 20 cfm a new stronger pump + motor is still far cheaper than a whole new 80+ gallon tank which of course usually come with stronger pumps and motors. that will work for just painting which lower pressure 20-30 psi means higher scfm but if you're needing to use sustained air tools better have like a 80+ gallon I wouldn't even bother with a 60
@@BulliKid You are welcome. I went to Harbor Freight today to get the gun and the compressor. The compressor is on sale for $149 and out of stock. I will hound them until I get one! You don't know how many guns and compressors you sold for them!
WOW, exactly what I needed to know!! I am going to primer and paint parts of my vw beetle and this video was very informative! I think this size tank will do fine, for the trunk of my bug and the fan parts of the engine. Great video and really enjoyed that you explained everything, thank you, from California.
Amazing job! you not only explained the basics of paint gun and compressor required to operate, what I badly needed to learn but also went and added comparison of harbor freight compressors that a lot of us home DYIs would actually get their parts from. Thank you! you saved a lot of time on research and asking around!
I bought the Harbor Frieght 10 gal compressor couple years ago. I think it will be ok for my paint gun. Using to top coat my 83 FXWG Fenders and tanks.
Hey man love the way you answer all the questions out there, but in my country we don't use cfm we use litter Pur minutes so can you do a video on it or comment here i have a 360 lpm tank 8 bar 4 hp 2850 rpm please help me thanks adam.🙏🏼
Most of the compressors I look at here in the UK only list the CFM but not '@ 40psi' or whatever the pressure is that can be maintained. The other info is just max pressure like 8 bar and tank volume. Wouldn't know how to work this out but it seems a pretty important to know this spec.
Awesome bro I definitely needed this info I have a 10 gallon stark with a 3.5 hp motor so I should be okay I think I’ll try and paint a quarter at a time or something and let it recharge
The 40 psi # is a little deceptive. The gun needs 50 to 70 psi of line pressure, 40psi is at the aircap. So if the compressor can deliver 6 cfm at 40 it's going to be less than 6 cfm if you need a line pressure of 50 to 70psi. Also small home owner type compressors are not made to run continuously. They have a duty cycle of 50 or 70%. Which means out of 10 minutes they are meant to run no more than 5 or 7 minutes. If your compressor is oilless or direct drive oil lubricated it's duty cycle will be less than 100%. To run a gun continuously needing 6 cfm you should be looking at a compressor with oil lubricated pump that has at least 3.5 hp and a 30 gallon tank..
pressure not important gun need only 1-3 bar pressure,all normal comp, basic have make 8bar setting max. tank capasity have important have ower 50 liter normal hobby user. and use LVLP gun no need expensive too big comp, only what need know have air SCFM how much can make air.
any compressor that has no aftercooling is not intended for car painting period ! when the reserve tank becomes hot, water does not condensate in the tank but in the shop circuit and very often past all the filtration devices so it sputters right in the paint job. When you have a continuous duty as spray gun or pneumtic sander feeding, the compressor should have sufficient Oomph to refill the tank to the nominal pressure and have a break before restart. If you use a cheaper compressor, you should have at least a provision to take care of the condensate
This can be compensated against with these smaller compressors (red or black central pneumatic 21-29 gal)by lvlp guns & constant running scenario with the drain valve at the bottom open letting all the moisture drain from the tank. This is a little tougher on it but it can handle it providing its been maintained. Always use a desiccant dryer & inline filter with regulator.
Whats upp bro. Cool video. I have a question im looking into buying a spray with the following specifications : Air consumption 2.4 to 3.9 CFM @ 30 PSI Working pressure 28-45 PSI. Maximum pressure 60 PSI What size compressor do you recommend for this ??? Help. Pls thx. I will be using to paint a guitar.
I do appreciate the detailed explanation. Just bought a porter and cable pancake compressor. I'd like something that can be used for painting and staining as well as flooring. Be nice if I could buy one unit so I'll keep looking.
@@BulliKid My 10 -1/2 hp 120 gallon tank compressor broke down Right as I stated a paint job , I had the small compromise I hooked it into a 60 gallon tank Let it build up and spray the 1st coat By the time it was ready for the 2nd coat the compressor was built up again , and so on. I ended up painting 3 cars like that until I could get the big compressor fixed. It worked the small compressor hard But in the end it's about the tank volume.
Victor Gutierrez I appreciate the comment! Seems to be a Good video and is starting to trend slowly. Glad I can help. I was confused when I was getting started myself.
@@BulliKid I am now in the same way as you before, but after I saw your video give more knowledge in how to pick an air compressor right know I already order a Husky 20gal 200 psi, I think is 5.0 CMP @40. I try to use it with the Purple HF air gun just to paint around the fence and nothing fancy. thank you and keep going with more videos.
If a lvlp for example the spray it 33000k needs 3.5 - 4.0 cfm @ 40 psi and for example a kobalt 26 gallon compressor can supply 5.5 cfm @ 40 psi it’s simple. could you paint a whole car?
LVLP gun have BEST hobby user in garage paint what paint all come perfect. i has paint 20 car my new LVLP gun and best than old shit de vilbiss HVLP gun. no newer can paint good before, new low volume gun have perfect. small compressor. you have super small comp if air come only 5,5 CFM normal cheap small comp have 7-9CFM air out.
Great video. Thank you! I am painting my bumper. I am going to try to do it with the spray cans. If successful, I will move up to the compressor for larger jobs. Really well done and very easy to listen to you.
Jeff Davidson glad i can help. I was lost myself and didn’t understand so I made the video to hopefully simply explain the information! Dont forget to like the video so it can reach more people.
Great video man. I'm trying to figure out the right compressor to sling texture on my walls and maybe even paint them along with painting the brick outside. Maybe I can find the right compressor for all of it.
That’s an hvlp gun you have there. What about an lvlp gun? And can you recommend some lvlp guns if they’d be a better choice with a smaller compressor. Thanks…
Fantastic video, can you help ? I have a 2hp, delivering 4.6 Cfm and 178 litres per minute. That is the only information on the unit . Can i work out the pressure that the Cfm delivers at. I want to paint small areas ie bumpers,and single panels on my car. Many thanks its brilliant the way you explain to us.
you need LVLP gun. HP not tell anythink at comp have good or not, only need know CFM air how much can made, need normal 5-9 CFM comp if want paint. whit LVLP gun , old normal HVLP gun need lot more air 14-18 CFM minimum.
Thank you for liking my earlier comment:) I have a quick question. Here is my scenario: 21 gallon McGraw air compressor, using a Campbell Hausefield low level gravity fed spray gun. I plan on paining a 91 Ford Taurus(the car is in one of videos on my RUclips channel). What do you think? Is it possible if I open the drain valve just enough so the water escapes out the bottom, could this work on my car? Just curious. Thank you so much☺
thanks for the clear information!!! what would you recommand for painting a motorcycle?? a supersport so a lot of fairings, but still not as much to paint as a car
Yanik Corneau I think you would be fine with something like in the video. Motorcycle parts are small, should suffice. But always , the bigger the compressor the better for painting.
no matter what paint gun take air alltime same, normal cheap HVLP gun need 14-17 SCFM air out comp, expensive. hobby user use better gun LVLP gun no need air lot only 5-7SCFM this have only important what u need know compressor, HP not tell anythink and tank capasity need be big have comfortable spray. no need wait sometime lot tank fill full.
I will share you something trick...open your air filter housing and mount a air regulator then install back your air filter so you can get a clean air in tank.
I think if you have 60 litres tanks extra your 24l at 10 bar, you have 240l plus 600l, for paint all car is good 500l, spray gun use 170l/m!! 2 hp charge 180l/m!!!
This is the most informative video that’s I’ve seen in awhile. Glad I found this. Are those pancake compressors good enough for cerakote? Buying spray cans are adding up and I’m thinking that I might as well buy compressor and HVLP. What do you suggest? I need suggestion. Thank you in advance
It all depends on the finish Primers are thicker and may need a bigger tip to spray better 1.6-1.8 Base coats and clear coats can use a 1.2 -1.4 The smaller the tip the finer the spray pattern the less orange peal.
@@BulliKid thanks for your advice. I am using a 24L 9.6 CFM 2.5HP air compressor with a 10mm ID X 10m hose and have owned this for a while. I haven't been too impressed with my recent rattle can jobs, but now I feel pretty motivated to try out the air guns when I buy them. Alloy respray on the to do list. I'm thinking my setup with the air hose could do with some adjustment. Perhaps the inner diameter, or length isn't the best for my compressors performance

There is a difference between the tool's CFM and compressor's CFM. Consumer-grade compressors usually use 'Standard' CFM.
@@yadtahir9443 how would standard cfm compare to regular cfm?

when the reserve tank becomes hot, water does not condensate in the tank but in the shop circuit and very often past all the filtration devices so it sputters right in the paint job.

Just looking for help on a quick question: If a compressor says 5.4 scfm @ 90 psi, does that mean it will have let’s say 6 or 7 scfm @ 70 psi?
Enjoyed your video and subscribed!! Keep up the good work and make some more videos soon so DYI folks can learn to do it too !! Excellent

could you try LVLP spray guns? is it possible to paint auto parts using such guns?
Yes those work better with smaller compressors
Such an informative video! Liked n subscribed
BankLO thanks glad it made some sense. Because I was confused when I first started

Welcome !

Thanks for this video you help me out I was lost but now I'm fine I'll try a run at it
Thanks
Fantastic video, can you help ?
I have a 2hp, delivering 4.6 Cfm and 178 litres per minute.
That is the only information on the unit .
Can i work out the pressure that the Cfm delivers at.
I want to paint small areas ie bumpers,and single panels on my car.
Many thanks its brilliant the way you explain to us.
you need LVLP gun. HP not tell anythink at comp have good or not, only need know CFM air how much can made, need normal 5-9 CFM comp if want paint. whit LVLP gun , old normal HVLP gun need lot more air 14-18 CFM minimum.
Thank you for liking my earlier comment:) I have a quick question. Here is my scenario: 21 gallon McGraw air compressor, using a Campbell Hausefield low level gravity fed spray gun. I plan on paining a 91 Ford Taurus(the car is in one of videos on my RUclips channel). What do you think? Is it possible if I open the drain valve just enough so the water escapes out the bottom, could this work on my car? Just curious. Thank you so much☺
Well you still may get water spots in the paint. You would later have to try to buff them out. I would suggest at least some good filtration.
@@BulliKid Lol I was thinking the same thing. I know harbor freight sells water filters. I plan on getting one. Thank you so much for helping me:)
This was very helpful! Very informative, thanks... ✨🌺✨
Thanks
Thanks for the explanation man. Hope your project went well.
Hey no problem hopefully make it clearer. Projects have been going so so. Experimenting a lot at this stage.

thanks for the clear information!!! what would you recommand for painting a motorcycle?? a supersport so a lot of fairings, but still not as much to paint as a car
Yanik Corneau I think you would be fine with something like in the video. Motorcycle parts are small, should suffice. But always , the bigger the compressor the better for painting.
no matter what paint gun take air alltime same, normal cheap HVLP gun need 14-17 SCFM air out comp, expensive. hobby user use better gun LVLP gun no need air lot only 5-7SCFM this have only important what u need know compressor, HP not tell anythink and tank capasity need be big have comfortable spray. no need wait sometime lot tank fill full.
I spent half the video trying to figure out that hat. Good job !!
Hahha 🤣
Thanks bud!
So basically starting with a 20 gallon or less I should use a lvlp spray paint gun that way I can play with the air pressure better
Yes.
Thanks for this man! Helped a lot!!!
Thanks ! Glad it helped.
I will share you something trick...open your air filter housing and mount a air regulator then install back your air filter so you can get a clean air in tank.
I think if you have 60 litres tanks extra your 24l at 10 bar, you have 240l plus 600l, for paint all car is good 500l, spray gun use 170l/m!! 2 hp charge 180l/m!!!
Great video bro very informative thanks !
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for this video, very well done!
Thank you. Appreciate it.
thank you!! this info It's exactly what I needed
Glad I can help!
This is the most informative video that’s I’ve seen in awhile. Glad I found this. Are those pancake compressors good enough for cerakote? Buying spray cans are adding up and I’m thinking that I might as well buy compressor and HVLP. What do you suggest? I need suggestion. Thank you in advance
What is cerakote? I would probably avoid pancake compressors period if you want to spray anything with a gun!
@@BulliKid Cerakote is the type of paint that is usually use to paint guns.
Okok. If you are painting small handguns I think a pancake would be fine.
@@BulliKid Sounds good, thank you.
great description thank you
awesome video, my one qusetion is what sort of nozzle gives the best results? A gun i'm looking at currently has 1.4mm nozzle, is it important?
It all depends on the finish
Primers are thicker and may need a bigger tip to spray better 1.6-1.8
Base coats and clear coats can use a 1.2 -1.4
The smaller the tip the finer the spray pattern the less orange peal.
@@BulliKid thanks for your advice. I am using a 24L 9.6 CFM 2.5HP air compressor with a 10mm ID X 10m hose and have owned this for a while. I haven't been too impressed with my recent rattle can jobs, but now I feel pretty motivated to try out the air guns when I buy them. Alloy respray on the to do list.
I'm thinking my setup with the air hose could do with some adjustment. Perhaps the inner diameter, or length isn't the best for my compressors performance
But like you mentioned... I should find an air gun that meets the requirements of my compressor
20 gallon 3.5hp keeps up with my hvlp 100%
this video helps me alot ...I got confused listening to everyone eles on here
