PROBABLY - check cfm ratings of compressor and paint gun

check to see if it is an "oilless" compressor if so they are very very loud and have quite short lifespans b4 burning out

Probably will pump air. Looks to be oil less. Being as it is a direct drive it will be loud. It will not live long under hard use. You will be happier in the long run to look for an oil lubricated machine. Also I wouldn't worry so much about the paint gun CFM. Sanders are the real air hog. But what would I know I have only worked on them everyday for the past 8 years.:lol:

I have a Craftsman Professional 80 gallon oiled compressor and it is LOUD. I could only imagine how loud their oilless compressor would be. I would keep looking for an oiled compressor of a different brand. My 60 gallon Campbell Hausfeld is pretty quiet and puts out 9 cfm@90psi which will keep up with most tools. Also check the cfm on your spray gun.
