Choosing the right compressor can be confusing. Everyones situation is different, I'll explain what to look for and what to expect out of your compressor. Check out my other videos on HVPL Basics.

If you can't hear him, turn on your captions. I can hear him fine, and I have Auditory Processing Disorder. 🤷‍♀️

Are you not supposed to keep spraying as the compressor kicks on to refill the tank? I have an Iwata LPH-50 HVLP that only uses around 2.2 CFM max and my tank can supply around 4 CFM @ 40 PSI. My Iwata only runs at 13-14 PSI. My gauges still read the same 13-14 PSI (working pressure) when the tank, a 4.4 gallon, kicks on but am I supposed to stop and let it completely refill?

@Genesis-ef1jt

Hi Tom, thanks for the video, it did clear up the cfm area of need for me. Newbie question though, what about the fact that these compressors tend to also 'spit' water? Don't you need a painting specific type compressor to overcome this? Thanks

WHY ALWAYS PEOPLE BUY HVLP SPRAY GUN?? I JUST DON`T GET IT. LVLP GUN IS SAME GUN AS HVLP, BUT LVLP OR TRANS TECH- AIR CAP. HVLP= HI VOLUME (OF AIR) LOW PRESSURE, (ABOUT 29-35PSI). LVLP= (LOW VOLUME OF AIR REQUIRE) FOR EXAMPLE: DEVILBISS PRO LITE: T110- AIR CAP IS TRAN TECH AIR CAP ABOUT SAME THAN LVLP, AND THE BEST CLEAR AIR CAP EVER!! SAME GUN, HV25 IS HVLP AIR CAP, AND AIR COMSUMPTION IS A WHOLE LOT MORE… DO NOT BUY A HVLP- SPRAY GUNS!! HVLP GUN IS NOT BETTER GUN THAN TRANS TECH OT LVLP SPRAY GUN.

Thank you so much for sharing and, by the way, I hear you perfectly. This is the kind of explanation I was waiting for. I wonder why most people say that you need to match the gun cfm requirement with the compressor cfm delivery. I think it is because they are referring to painting cars. As a woodworker, I have used HVLP guns with a 2.4 cfm pancake compressor. Recently, I acquired a 14 cfm HVLP gun and may need a bigger compressor but will make the test first. If I can paint a cabinet door which takes about half a minute without catching up, that is enough for me.

You just need to raise the volume a little. I cant hear this.

@natalieelisabeth5767

I love your teaching style. You’re videos on compressors and paint spraying are unparalleled! Great work!

@rickhoupt6933

Volume a bot low but I heard you fine. Glad you shared. I have a cheap hvlp thinking of spraying my pine doors with water based poly. I have that same compressor and the cheap HF upright like 30 gal but regulator sucks. Doesn’t run my finish nailer like the pancake. Maybe need to upgrade regulator? Which one do you think is better? Thanks for vid.

Y’all complaining about not being able to hear need to get a better Obama phone or turn up your hearing aid! Sound is just fine.

Super helpful info! I've been trying to figure out what equipment I would need to repaint panels of a truck and this was just what I was looking for.

Tom, you need more psi for your voice.

Great video! I found it super helpful. Does anyone know if Dewalt DWFP55126 (165 PSI, 2.5 SCFM@90, 6 gallon) or Dewalt DWFP55130 (200-PSI, 3.0 SCFM@90, 2.5 gallon) will be better for spraying?
