This is the BEST VIDEO SO FAR what i found on KZbin. Pointed !!!! Straightforward !!!! Clear Enough!!!! Thank you Mate.

[@BulliKid]

I appreciate that comment my man! Glad I can help!!!

[@barbaydian261]

Thanks for this... Right on point I almost bought a compressor that wouldn't do the job. Was one click away

[@BulliKid]

Glad I can help!! 💪

[@Tex777_]

Best video I've seen describing the specs you need on an air compressor. It's overlooked all the time on DIY videos for painting

[@BulliKid]

Thank you!!

[@MikeOrazzi]

Good info, thanks.

[@sonnyxlbright5904]

Like someone's already commented, this is the sort of all-in-one video that I've been looking for. Thanks for posting this.

[@BulliKid]

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it

[@AlexS.2016]

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.

[@bluesbubba7429]

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!

[@victoreous626]

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.

[@kjirstenboucher9682]

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.😊👍

[@user-hc8lg7fs7m]

Functionally operates just as it should kzbin.infoUgkxiiMg_x4gIWeXMWfBnDdRnME4qJUAva4w holds pressure perfectly when not in use. Glad one of the other reviews pointed out that the bottom pressure release valve was open; thought it was defective at first.

Welcome !

[@skywu5839]

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.

[@BulliKid]

Sky Wu that sounds like a good way to keep the velocity moving!

[@mattivirta]

hahaha too high pressure not newer use. all compressor have setting normal max pressure 110-120 psi. no more, paint gun need only 30-60 psi setting.

[@audreybowles6357]

This is good information to have before purchasing a paint air sprayer for a Harbor Freight 20 gal compressor. Thank you!

[@BulliKid]

Thanks for watching!

[@sinistan1002]

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

[@fdwsr71]

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.

[@BulliKid]

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.

[@BulliKid]

And the quality out of the gun?

[@keithclark486]

@@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.

[@BulliKid]

[@THX..1138]

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..

[@mattivirta]

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.

20 gallon 3.5hp keeps up with my hvlp 100%

[@jacquespoirier9071]

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

[@justinshields4216]

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.

[@FurnitureFlippingRush]

This was very helpful! Very informative, thanks... ✨🌺✨

[@BulliKid]

Thanks

[@Simon67316]

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.

Seems like but I sprayed bigger things with this and u less you need a nice finish it still will lay down.
