First post here. I am looking at the finishline 4 set with 3 tips for my first gun, thanks to the great input some of you have shared about it. I have a 60 gallon red husky compressor that runs air tools very well. I want to spray epoxy, using a vaper gun, then spray regular primer and base with the finishline. Will this compressor supply enough air for the finishline gun?

thanks

Wagon we need to know the CFM output of the compressor at a stated PSI.

That gun uses a LOT of air...

We like to see at least 20% headroom on CFM so the compressor isn't running constantly. If doing an overall job you may be generating a lot of moist air with that comp/gun combination. You might sneak by with it but you will need a very good game plan on removing water from the air supply.

That gun calls for 13CFM at around 25PSI.

Do you have any recommendations of a spraygun that will work well with my compressor?

Sorry for the delay; one of my other web properties suddenly became very needy.

Anyway, what you want to look for is a RP gun. I used to carry the DeVilbiss "Plus" gun here; excellent for new/occasional painters and lighter on the air addiction than an HVLP gun. Look into it, I think you would be happy with that gun.
