I've never painted a car before. I was planning on purchasing http://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-l...-gun-66222.html. The manual states it uses 12 CFM's at 45 PSI. I have a Craftsman 20 gallon compressor. I haven't checked the max CFM yet but I have a feeling it is around 7CFM's. Will this gun work with my compressor for priming and painting my 914?

yes, but the compressor will run all the time, and you really need to paint slower, and take more breaks to let the compressor catch up.
I have painted with smaller compressors...its not great, but for one car, it can be done. Rich |
