Yes. You might have to wait for the tanks to build up pressure during a vehicle application.

I use it with my pancake dewalt compressor, it's used to run my framing nailer also.

Short answer is yes any compressor, don't know if 2hp is enough for continuous operation, worst case you have to wait while it pumps up, or add extra volume in the system. Works good otherwise.

I use it with an air compressor that puts out 17 to 25 cfm with no problem. If you need to use it non stop for long periods of time, a 2HP air compressor can not keep up.

this is a high pressure sprayer and with any sprayer it is possible to over spray you will have to mask off areas to get crisp lines just like with any other sprayer my unit arrived in good condition with new hoses and spray gun and tip and worked as well as any other sprayer I have used. I have only used this unit indoors so wind was not an issue but it was very controllable and quick. it is as good as any other sprayer on the market

your spray gun should have a min and max psi rating, your high flow spray gun needs high pressure prolly 90 psi to 100 psi you need a good air compressure with good recovery. milton Indudtries can help you with sizing connections from the air compressor to the hose ID diameter to the spray gun connection you may need a proper adaptor to connect every thing. Milton makes the best adapters air nozzles and tire inflators

Update on this gun. Have been spraying guitar Sunbursts now for a week. This gun is everything , everyone here says it is. the 1.6 HP 33 gal compressor works just fine. I bought 4 of these guns.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

i can add that it doesn't have full power for me. I think it is due to being under-air powered. I have it running through 50ft of standard air line, but the compressor only generates 120psi. I haven't had time to work it out yet, but beware if you don't have a large and capable compressor, you may not get the full rating force rating of the impact wrench. also take this with a grain of salt, as I am not an expert and haven't resolved the issue. I trust Craftsman in general. the fit and finish of the gun is nice.

I only shoot nails with mine but I can't see why not. LVLP'S usually require 1-2 hp compressors don't they? This model is so over engineered I can't understand why they didn't give it a bigger tank. Only drawback is the weight, I wudnt recommend if you are constantly bringing to jobsites. Tank pressure release valve very poorly located and easy to break when hand carrying. Otherwise it's going to last forever

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

Yes but there are a few questions. What are you spraying? A compressor needs to supply 43 to 58 psi at the gun. But air storage of the compressor is important if you are spraying a lot. Small tank storage of the compressor will empty quickly and you will loose pressure. My home compressor has about 4.8 gallons of storage. It is good enough to blow out air filters, fill tires, clean the garage out and supply pressure for short term needs. If I was painting a car, a compressor with a 60 gallon storage tank would a better choice as the compressor would not have to run all the time and the pressure would not vary. Also consider a properly placed water filter that will take the moisture out of the compressed air if that would be an issue for your project. All fittings and tubing are very common and available at your local Sears, Ace Hardware, Home Depot and of course Amazon.

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!

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

I use a hitachi EC510 model. 6 gallon capable of working! !!! 2 guns. I use this fir my coil roofers as well. Best lil compressor you can buy. Just look at the customer ratings. Of course one can save money buy getting a throw away from harbor freight. Trust those red portercable lookalikes from H.F. are pretty darn reliable. The name escapes me but just walk into the nearest HF and you'll see it it's like 60$ + tax. So if your only doing smaller jobs thus will get you going fine

I use a 2.5 horsepower 10 gallon compressor and it has plenty of air to do the job with the framing nailer. Currently set it between 90 to 100lbs and it has great penatration. The 15 and 18 gauge nailers use less air and I adjust the air pressure to anywhere between 45 to 80 lbs depends on the material I am using and again it works great. With the 10 gallon compressor you have a light weight unit that you can move around if needed and you never run out of air even on big jobs. Of course if you have a larger compressor, it will be a mute point. Excellent nailers and work well with 10 gallon oil type compressors.

Does not need an air compressor. Can be used right from the box. However, I am a Lady and I found the item to be very heavy and awkward to use. Tires the arm! So, if you have a lot of spraying to do, you might want to take the weight of the item into consideration. Simple to operate, it's true, but I am not looking forward to my next spraying project only because of the weight of the item. Jean D.

You should always go by the manufacturers recommended CFM on the sprayer first of all, then compare the compressor to see if its CFM compares and should be slightly higher to be safe.

Yes. This gun is a high volume low pressure gun. Small projects like your talking about is perfect for the air compressor your using.

The Air Ordnance SMG 22 comes with a 20 oz 3000 psi high pressure air (H.P.A.)bottle that can be filled at any paintball shop. You can use a air compressor but you would need one that could push 3000 psi as well as a fill whip for your bottle.(See shoe box compressor for 3000-4500 psi compressor) For Example in my case i Use a 80 cu ft pound aluminum dive cylinder filled to 3000 psi. Which i get filled at my local dive shop for six bucks (prices will vary).Then i fill my own 48 cu in hpa container of the dive cylinder. Max fills is about 8-10 untill you get down to 1000 psi because every time you fill up the amount you get in pressure is less each time but its OK because as long as its between the 800-1000 psi that the gun wants your OK. If your gonna get your own hpa container make sure the output is between the 800-1000 psi or it will result in valve failure and end of gun.(That is advice strait from air ordnance service department manager Garry himself)In summary there are many ways to fill the tank.........You can use HPA Containers filled at a Paintball shop........You can fill your Hpa COntainer from a dive cylinder and get the cylinder filled at a dive shop or fire suppression shop--(Must use K or J valve adapter block for scuba tank as well as a fill whip with 1/8 fittings)......They also sell HPA hand pumps designed to fill PCP or pre-charged pneumatics i.e. Air rifles that push 3000 psi but they are hard work with a pumping force of at least 200 pounds and they cost about 200 dollars...........ANd to conclude if you dont want to count on anybody else you can get THE SHOE BOX COMPRESSOR which is a 3000-4500psi compressor that takes a normal 100psi compressor and pumps for you instead of a hand pump. LOw maintaince,Little work,varriable Pressures But Long Run times and cost about 700 dollars. SO there i know its a lot to take in and your gonna want to do your own research but those are all the options and i hoped this helped.
