Besides a compressor, what else will I need to have to properly use this spray gun? Filters, etc?

Really all you would need is an inline water/oil filter to keep moisture out of your system, and some hoses. Quick connect hoses and fittings are really nice to have, especially if you will be changing between spray guns, or just for convenience. And some cleaning solution that is compatible with the type of paint you are using will help with the cleanup.

Paint sprayed through any small gun should always be filtered (easier than stopping to clean the gun). The gun is easy to use and it doesn't take long to get use to the fluid, pattern, and air controls. Plus, the gun is easy to clean and maintain. It is easier to spray if you have 4 to 5 c.f.m. of clean air. Have fun, paint your world bright colors.

just your normal painting sundries. the gun set comes with a regulator. It sprays moderately well. We use it in the shop on a daily basis for furniture and woodworking. I wouldn't paint a car with it since i have a lot nicer guns for such jobs, but it sprays latex, oil, poly, and stain just fine.

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.

No air compressor needed. Only need electrical connection. Like this sprayer, but have not been able to use for all of the painting that I want to do. Have only been able to paint an out door (10 x12) shed without thinning paint and it worked great.

You don't NEED one but filtering out moister keeps your air as clean and dry as possible. If you are painting you need the driest air you can get. It also keeps your tools clean and prolongs their life. All air compressors gather moister from the atmosphere. You must eliminate this at output through filtering. Also draining your tank when not in use is a must. You should have a drain value located at the bottom of your compressor. Leaving moister in the tank creates rust and will damage your tools. This is a great little filter. The best I have found for the $$ and size. You can't go wrong here. I use it for a sand blast cabinet with no problems.

Yes you will need a compressor. The unit uses a lot of air so you will need one that can keep up with it without having to wait long periods in between bursts.

A smaller compressor would work, but if you need tons power at least a 19cfm compressor. I would recommend the aircat gun, am not too happy with the CP7748.

This spray gun requires an HVLP spray unit not an air compressor. HVLP means high volume low pressure which reduces overspray and less material consumption. You can buy a conventional spray gun which does use an air compressor

While you can use a regular compressor, that is not an ideal setup. First of all, most regulators on bigger compressors do not have the capability to make the smaller adjustments necessary for airbrushing. Secondly, you will absolutely need a moisture trap. Thirdly, a regular compressor is going to be a lot noisier ad present location problems. And finally, adapting from airbrush fittings to a standard compressor fitting would be a challenge. You will be better off to buy a compressor built specifically for airbrushing.

Assuming you have the hose for an airbrush, nothing. But if you are using a shop compressor I would recommend a moisture trap as well.

Not sure what is best, but I used a paper filter that I had on hand from spray painting. I do recommend using a mask. The powder hangs in the air like fine smoke.

Yes, without a compressor this would be just an expensive can. A compressor provides the air pressure to make this a "pressure feed spray gun".Alan

You will need a compressor. Make sure you get one designed for the Paasche because I didn't and my compressor works great, but I spent an entire day getting the fittings for the hoses. Each brand uses different size hoses and fittings at the ends.

My husband has an air compressor and used that to blow up mine. I hope this helps.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

You need a compressor to attach the gun to. Belloccio also makes a compressor but you have to buy it separately.
