I have a 30gal air compressor that puts out 4.6cfm@90psi and 8.6cfm@40psi.
I want to repaint my Porsche with an HVLP Sharpe spray gun. I want to know if I will have enough air compressor capacity with their finex gun. It is rated at 11.4 cfm@29psi. Now, I have never used one before, so maybe someone can help me out. I only turn the pressure up enough to get good atomization right? So I might actually be running at less than 29psi, right? What is a typical pressure?
Also, with 30gal charged up to 145psi and regulated to 29psi, with the compressor *trying* to keep up, do you think I can use this gun + compressor? TIA!
EDIT- Typo! I have a 30gal tank. *fixed*
