Where would I find and appropriate compressor for this gun?

You can buy a compressor at Sears, Lowes, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. You just need to get a tank large enough to sustain a constant pressure. A small tank, like a 'pancake' wouldn't maintain the pressure and the sprayer wouldn't work right.

this is the boyfriend 30 gallons would be good if you're not constantly spraying we have a 60 gallon never ran out of there air compressor only kicked on three times hope this helps

You will need a large tank with aroud 5 horsepower motor. Probably $500 to $1000 range to supply enough air. Great paint gun

I use a husky from home depot, depending on how much you are spraying you may be able to get by with a smaller one (I am using a 30 gallon for a fender and bumper)

Yes, but the gun needs between 1000 and 2000 psi, so a run of the mill air compressor won't suffice. We use a scuba tank, which the scuba shop charges to 3000 psi. Crosman's site has some videos that tell a lot about the gun.

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.

A porter cable pancake style air compressor will work just fine also bostitch pancake,, those are about the smallest that I would use and anything bigger is just gravy

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

I actually have no clue. Might have to go through the manufacturer of the gun.

this gun is a piece of sh! T if you bought this gun from airrattle you are F ked. If you can't return it, the there is a screw on the bottom of the handle that can adjust the motor height it be adjusted till bb's come out, if it doesn't even make a sound the fuse is blown, its in the ziptie thing were the battery goes. Match the fuse size and replace it with a 10amp you won't have the problem again

All you get is the compressor. Your question is not specific to a particular model and you may find better answers elsewhere.

Yes. It will be fine. I have ran this gun from 140psi down to 70 psi with no problems at all

It's more about how much air the compressor will put out per minute. You will have to stop fairly frequently to let your setup catch up if you are painting something that is large. I have/had a set of these guns. You can't use them straight out of the box. Totally take them apart and clean all the junk out of them and take the plastic gasket, that divides the nozzle from the paint chamber, and some 800 grit sandpaper and on a flat surface, lap the gasket flat (can't remember if it's the front or back side but you'll be able to tell which one should be smooth). Mine leaked air, very badly, into the paint chamber. Every time I squeezed the trigger, you could see bubbles percolating through the paint. Lapping that hard plastic gasket stopped that. Don't expect to be able to spray a candy with these guns. The pattern(s) on mine is/are too inconsistent. I ended up buying a different gun to shoot my base/clear. Matt

I use a compressor that I purchased from harbor freight. Remember if you buy a compressor you will need the hard ware to attach it

You haven't provided what your small household compressor's CFM is. You need to have a compressor that can support the at load cfm value for the impact gun. It easily takes the toughest lug nuts off. Good Luck.

You don't need a regulator or gauge - the compressor has them built in. Get a 1/4" x 25' flexible hose and a quick release connector kit. Amazon has a kit that has everything in it for like $10.00 Henry@winko1.com if you need help with anything else. Henry.

compressor needs good amperage, might need at least a motorcycle battery, at walmart approx $45

No. As previously stated, even the very best garage type of compressor only gets up to maybe 500PSI. So options are: special hand pump $120-300, scuba tank with adapter (used $150, new $250), paint ball tanks with adapters ($200-up), special carbon fiber 4500psi tanks for PC rifles ($300-way up), Used SCBA carbon fiber fireman tank with adapters ($200+) which is what I did (actually finished around $120, but I got lucky and built the stainless adapter myself). BUT, once you have an air source, you have almost unlimited, dirt cheap, super accurate shooting fun!
