haha thanks.
heres what I'm thinking. the guns says that it takes 30-35 psi to operate the gun. and the air comsumption of the gun is 12CFM @ 43 psi. So the air compressor that i buy has to supply at least 12 CFM @ 43 psi. Does that sound right?

look into the 90977 , it requires less air and its built pretty solid for a "cheap" gun

I've actually bought my paint gun from harbor freight and I would say that they sell good paint guns. I haven't had any problems with mine and I only paid 10.00 bucks.. oh ya baby..

Those guns are not bad, just that I would replace the cups with those that doesn't screw on. The screw on caps tend to leak in between the threads and later it doesn't screw on tight anymore; but, to tell you guys the truth, I use these gun to spray primer surfacer and epoxy primer. They work great for it.
