Can The Compressor Be used with Other Spray Guns Like this One ? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B... I read in a Few Revies that it DOES NOT Paint Ceiling Properly, One reviewer stated that you need an "airless spray gun" See Post here...

Hello Alan, I am afraid you cannot use Black & Decker BDPH400's (power unit) compressor with any other type of 3rd party spray guns. The reason being, the (power unit) compressor and the supplied gun are designed to work only with one another. If you've notice, the hose size on the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun is comparatively smaller to the one of the Black and Decker gun. If you can find a reducer attachment for the Black and Decker power unit (compressor) to match the hose size of the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun, then it might work. There's no guarantee though that it will. I haven't tried painting ceilings with this product yet; hence, I am unsure about your second question. I hope this helps!

I think you could. Not sure what accessory you would need. I have a friend who has an airbrush makeup compressor. They are basicly the same thing but a different gun.

I'm not sure you should call a local paintball shop to ask your question. I usally fill mine up at the park when I play. I don't see them using a air compressor I see them using a tank. Good luck!!!

It's all about CFM (cubic feet a minute) not pressure, this spray gun requires quite a lot of CFM and if your compressor cannot supply enough of it than you will have to wait while the compressor can fill your very small tank

There is not a 'lot' of overspray, but there is always going to be some. I haven't used other types of sprayers (airless or compressor type) but I suspect they are much worse in this regard. You can spray in a finished house (I did) but you still want to mask and protect the surrounding area .

I wouldn't think so. I have not done any spray painting so a Iam by no means an expert. I would think the key to even application of paint is constant pressure. This compressor cycles frequently to keep pressure in the tank. Note I am using for airing up automobile tires. Spray painting may draw less volume down and thus the compressor maybe fine depending on the air requirement of the paint spray gun. Good Luck

There is overspray with any airless sprayer. How much preparation and shielding will depend on your experience with a sprayer. I've been using airless spray guns for 25 years. I haven't purchased one of these yet, but I'm sure it has a different feel than a regular spray gun since you'll be holding a much bulkier unit in your hand. Drop cloths, painter's plastic, cardboard and spray shields are always a painter's friend. I can use an airless sprayer and shooting ceilings and only get 1/2" to 1" of overspray around the top of the walls - but that's because I can hold my gun at an angle that allows me better aim - this unit I'm sure would create a much larger spray pattern in ceiling-wall corners.

It is designed to be used to spray ceilings so it will not spill. I found that I got the hang of it quickly. Make sure you have a big enough air supply with your compressor. Mine was weak so I had to spray in short spurts. Hope this helps

I'm not sure I would buy a compressor for one job: they're not cheap. But if it's a big shed, and you have other future stuff in mind, OK. I would think you need a compressor that will do 2-3 scfm at 90 psi. The gun needs 80 psi or so but doesn't use much air in normal use. Depending on compressor type (oil or oil-free) you will probably need a small filter as well, not expensive. And hose fittings. All on Amazon. I spray wood finishes as well, and have a Makita 4.5 cfm, highly recommended, but more than you need.

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

I'm new to airbrushing as well. I got a hobby compressor from a company called Harbor Freight. It's a small thing, barely makes any sound, and gets good reviews. You can get a whole airbrush kit from them, but I wanted multiple brushes and a gravity feed one, so I got this brush for cheap. If you have a harbor freight near you I suggest stopping by, take the brush with you even, and match it up. They're small compressors, and very simple. Look for one with the moisture trap and pressure regulator on it. They sell it without the pressure regulator on it, and you'll want one with it rather than buy one separately. You can get the same basic compressor on here as well, but from Harbor Freight they've always got coupons online and in flyers, or sign up to have them mailed to you on their site even. You also could simply order it on their website if you DON'T have a Harbor Freight store near you.

I have one of those Porter Cable compressors I got for a brad nailer, and the Critter works fine with it. You won't need anything like 90 PSI, either. If you use too much pressure, the spray will be very dry and dusty.

My compressor has an identical output and it works. You do have to wait for pressure to build up between uses. I was removing ceramic tile and the tile cement from a bathroom floor so I would take up some tiles and cement, clean that up while the pressure built back up and then do some more. It will not work continuously because the compressor can't keep up but you can do a significant amount.

Either will work but it will all depend on duration of use. Used compressors can be found on ebay for fairly cheap. Also a small tool compressor will work as well if you can regulate the level of psi. Air cans over time will add up in cost and could easily surpass the cost of a compressor. Air cans are great for work where no power is available and for light spraying. I use my Paasche for spraying firearm finishes and a compressor was the way to go for that. I use both a Paasche I bought used from ebay as well as a large shop tool compressor that has a air cleaner and psi regulator.

I do that with the air compressor, so no you can't with this gun. It is a little annoying because there is a bit of hunting to get it right sometimes.

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.
