From what I hear you should probably go ahead and take a welding class, Mark.

I bought a welder this year and taught myself. A mig welder is pretty straight forward, basically advanced soldering. Main thing is to get 100% penatration, and worry about how it looks after you get some practice. Just like women.

Haha - you should try welding aluminIum sometime https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Finishing off the floor and I'll be done and ready to paint. I have access to a couple compressors, one smaller, one huge. The gun I bought is a Sharpe 1.3 T1 HVLP GRAVITY, and only require 30psi at the inlet. Its a $300 gun so it should be pretty decent. Then I have another for primer that was cheap, I can throw it away when I'm done if I need to.

its not air at the inlet thats the problem, its the CFM required https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

all HVLP guns are pretty much 30-35 inlet to get 10psi at the cap



its the CFM that gets you in trouble with the compressor, most used to require upwards of 15-17cfm which would run a large shop compressor very low



other good thing for you is the mini is so small you should not have a problem with the compressor keeping up anyway, I get too used to spraying gallons at a time, forget a car like yours is like a quart depending how the color covers and what color you are spraying over:wacko:

I should of been more specific...here are the specs just like you said.



13.5 CFM Air Consumption

30 PSI Inlet Pressure

10 PSI Air Cap Pressure
