Default Painting... Compressor MIN requirements?

Hope this is the right forum.

I've got a porter cable 6-gallon compresson. I'm looking to do small paint jobs (panels, trim, etc). Nothing to the extent of a whole car.

Does my compressor have enough capacity?

You'll be fine for small jobs. any larger jobs that require constant spraying wouldnt get covered fully though due to dropping of pressure. but ya small jobs are a go.

Thanks for the quick response...

I figure I'll find out my limit soon as I start painting.
