Has anyone ever used anything like this I am about to paint my aluminum fishing boat as well as on old truck I bought. Neither one has to look professionally done, I was originally going to use regular spray paint. But since I have a couple of projects coming up, I thought I may go ahead and make an investment in something like this. I do not have an air compressor or I would go that route. Would I be better off buying a compressor? What size would be good for a carport mechanic?  Thanks

I learned the hard way to not have the air compressor in the garage when shooting paint on a car. The compressor sucked in all that paint in the air, and gummed up the reed valves. What a mess. OH, and if you do opt for an air compressor for painting, YOU HAVE TO USE AN INLINE DRIER. Sharp learning curve when painting your own car. I discovered I needed about 100 feet of hose between the compressor and the drier to ensure all of the moisture condensed out of the air before it got to the drier. Having the drier connected right at the compressor didn't take any moisture out. |
