Another Compressor and Spray Gun Thread
Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2022 5:23 pm
Hello. I'm new here and figured I'd ask here as I'm trying to figure my first thing which is an air compressor. Actually, I'm new to this whole thing. What I'm looking at painting is the frame and suspension components to my vintage truck. I would also like to or aim to spray the inner fenders, radiator support, bed wood (varnish) and back fenders (stepside) if possible. I would probably use single stage paint as the truck was repainted 20+ years ago in single stage paint. As much as I would like to purchase a top notch compressor it's not in the cards for me right now because of a few constraints.
The biggest one being, is I don't have access to 230 volt or 240 volt rated outlet. I would upgrade but, I'm not sure if I will be at this property within the next few years much less living in the same state. Right now I'm confined to 110/120 volts. I'm not sure if there is an air compressor that will do what I need to do. I believe for my situation I could use a LVLP Gun or an older Gravity Feed Gun? I've read of stories of guys that used pancake compressor to spray single stage years ago.
I want to do a decent job but, I'm not building a show vehicle here. My truck is a driver type vehicle. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
