can this unit be used to do touch up car painting in smaller to larger primed areas ready to repaint or bumpers and entire replacement parts purchas??

My only concern would be that with this compressor your psi may get to low while doing larger areas. This unit has no tank and psi drops fast and would cause the compressor to run a lot. Does come with adapters for larger compressor

Yes. Pretty amazing machine. We use 11 of these and they are a very good choice and they last forever. We use foam and foamed wool pads to buff everything from paint on cars and jets, Plastics and bare metals.

Depending on your skill level and the kind of paint you will be using I would think that you could do a good job with the Campbell Hausfeld unit.

It should work really well but be careful. It is not recommended for clear coat paint.

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

Yes, it will service any paint gun up to 100# of pressure. Be aware, though, the compressor will run quite a bit because of the small storage tank.

I believe it should work fine. I have a friend who paints cars and uses one of these and has used it for many years.

I have used it in a lot of automotive repairs with great sucsses but it needs to be clean ans holsa up very well, good luck.

I've used mine for bumper repairs only. I would think that with some practice one could do just about anything. I buy the fiber flex from Urethane Supply Co.

I don't think it would work, cuz rubbing compound is designed for paint scratch. Search for NOVUS 2 Plastic Fine Scratch Remover, it works great for polishing headlights. I can vouch for that.

Sharon, you need to rephrase the question. This is an air compressor, not a paint remover. Do you have a tool in mind you're looking to run off of it for removing paint? This is a very lightweight use compressor: balls, bike tires, small brad nailer--nothing high volume. I'm not certain what you're planning on doing, based on your question, but my best guess is: "Probably not"

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

This is a small torch. I doubt it would be good for that. You would be better off with a standard size propane or oxy/acetylene torch for that purpose. This would be great for soldering small parts or dozens of other smaller uses.

I'm a technician and I work at a body shop, and I can tell you most older technicians use this, there's newer more expensive dent pullers out there but these are by far my favorite if you know how to use it properly. Technically you can use this for any size dent but after you expand and shrink the metal so many times it gets really wavy, so in shops they replace the whole panel because it's better for the good of the car and safer if your not driving around with wavy flemsy metal under a bunch of mud Hope this helps

As long as it's latex paint (not oil based) you'd be fine. As detailed in my review of this product, my experience with this device was not a good one. The unit is okay I guess, but the rollers for it are expensive and of poor quality, which lead to dissappointing results. For consistent results, I'd really recommend you just use regular pans & rollers.

Don't see why not. For small projects/hobby-painting or limited duration I think it would be great! Again, for industrial/commercial apps, or heavy-duty use on a daily basis, I (personally) would go with more muscle. Never tried it though as I have, and use electric power sprayers for the type of work I do (homeowner-decks, fence, yard ornaments.) A sweet compressor though...that should be effective for limited duty.

This gun is not good for large jobs. It is more for touch up work. That being said, it will handle the paint okay. You will have to thin it and spray many coats to get good coverage. Practice on a piece of old wood or cardboard until you get the spray adjusted and it will do a good job on small projects.
