Hi Brad. Another option I have found for guys wanting to do small projects ie painting guitar bodies is to use an lvlp spray gun instead of hvlp. I have an 8 gallon compressor and it works great

[@BradAngove]

That’s a good suggestion to save some money, but Lvlp guns certainly don’t perform like hvlp guns if you want to be able to lay down a few nice smooth coats of clear for example.

[@michaelhutchinson3901]

Another cheat is to pressurize your tank at say 100psi and then regulate back down at your gun. That 100 psi in the tank compresses much more volume than the 25 psi you are using. This effectively makes your tank 4X larger.

All of your videos are so good and informative that I have gladly subscribed and your content is always helpful. I was going to use SprayMax 2K, but I found out that it contains isocyanates, and since they can't be filtered out and I don't have a supplied air mask, I decided that it wasn't worth it. Instead I went with a product called Maxx Clear that was pretty awesome, but it came out way too heavily from my airless gun. Now I am looking to see what kind of compressor that I can find to run an HVLP gun in my shed-converted-to-a-wood-shop so that I don't have to bring out my bigger compressor from my garage. And look whose video came up when I searched? Once again, I feel like I am better informed. Thanks again and keep up the good work, because I'll keep watching!

It might add a very minimal amount of capacity, but at the end I think that air might not count for anything because there wouldn’t be enough pressure in the tank to push it through properly anyway.

For most applications one or two simple moisture traps are adequate and don’t hinder performance notably. We only have a large dryer on our big compressor and it powers the whole shop so I’m not sure what impact it has on pressure/volume.

US should use metric measurement as well. It is the easiest thing to measure things lol.

[@BradAngove]

It’s definitely more logical than imperial.

The first 30 seconds of you being woke and saying we're all trying to get by with a smaller compressor made me subscribe. I hope the rest of the video is just as good!

[@BradAngove]

I hope so too haha.

[@Exiledk]

So... how big does the compressor need to be? You didn't answer...

[@BradAngove]

Did you watch the video?

[@OGTrollTroll8]

Bro I need some advice from you. Please leave me your email. I’m trying to do paint blasting for a refinery. So I was told I needed a big compressor. I have a list of the things they said I’ll need so please forward me your email so I can get your advice. PS. I’m new to this.
