I have a 26 gallon chraftsman 2HP compressor (8 CFM @ 40psi ) (6 CFM @ 90psi)
and i want to do a DIY pait job on my civic.. I dont want to do a poor quality job,

Ive been reading about the diffrant paint guns.... seems like Iwata and devilbiss are what im leaning too

i need help picking one that will work the BEST with my compressor size

Its gonna be a metallic paint

( If my compressor is not enough for a good paint job, could you tell me whats a good gun for painting a black base with satin clear coat) "temp. paint job"

 

i have a iwata lph 400 spray gun and some ppg paint and clear f/s pm if your interested

 

im also curious about this because im about to buy a compressor and some guns myself... from my research most guns need at least 12cfm to operate properly... but apparently higher quality guns like Iwata use less cfm.. around 9-10cfm
can anyone clear things up on this?

 

i dont know if my compressor can support a iwata gun

 

bump...

 

The LPH is a low pressure gun. It uses less air than a standard HVLP. It's a great gun, pick it up!
