Help me understand my air-compressor and spray gun
Hey guys, I have some questions regarding my current equipment.
I have a small air-compressor with these specs: 4 scfm @90 psi, 6 scfm @40psi, 155 max psi, 1.5 running HP, 10 gallon tank.
My spray gun specs: LVLP, requires 3-3.9 cfm, 1.5mm tip. It's a low-volume low-pressure spray gun.
Will this air-compressor be okay to use with this spray-gun?
Will I have problems with running out of air/pressure while spraying?
Potential problems with atomization?
My compressor is rated at SCFM, how does this compare to CFM ?
Anything else I should consider other than CFM and PSI ?
Help me understand whether this air-compressor is suited to be used with this spray-gun.

What are you trying to spray, you'll most likely have trouble getting enough constant pressure with a small compressor unless you're painting something small. Make sure you use a desiccant filter at the gun so you don't get water in your paint
