Re: Rattle Can?

I bought this compressor at harbor freight to spray some cabinetry in a house I was working on. It runs the harbor freight purple gun fine. I have used the purple gun to spray acrylic enamel and some urethane with no problems and a nice finish. I got it for $149 and they frequently have a coupon.

https://www.harborfreight.com/air-to...sor-61454.html

5.8 CFM @ 40 PSI, 4.7 CFM @ 90 PSI

Purple Gun: https://www.harborfreight.com/20-fl-...gun-62300.html

Says Average Air Consumption 6 CFM @ 40 PSI which is really close to what the compressor can put out. Like someone said above sometimes you have to let the compressor catch up.

Does anyone know if HF sells different fluid tip sizes for these cheap guns ? High build 2K primer sprays better with larger tips.

I don't think they do. I have a separate cheapo gun for primer with a larger tip.
