Thread: Spray can paint..

MY only thought is that it takes a bigger compressor, or a large storage tank, to use an HVLP gun. It means high velocity low pressure, and needs a large volumn of air. You won't know until you try it, whether you will run out of air pressure too soon.

The paint I mentioned, I bought at the local Ace. I don't know if it needs primer, but with a name like Rust Stop, I doubt it.

My compressor is 21 gallon, 3HP, 125 CFM.
My gun is the following: Spray Gun

The guy at Harbor Freight said it would work great with my compressor.

Also, is a quart enough paint to do my car, or do I need more than that?

Thanks hotrodpaint, you are a stand-up fellow!

u shure your compressor is 125 CFM, seem more likely to be 12.5 CFM.
