chon Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello everyone! I decided to grab one of these spray guns for tire dressing my SUVs at home My old 1hp pancake compressor is no longer in service so I am looking at something new. What cfm ratings should I be looking for in a compressor for the spray gun? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowejackson Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 The specs say 200-400 litres per minute which is roughly 7-14CFM (https://trustconverter.com/en/flow-conversion/liters-per-minute/liters-per-minute-to-cubic-feet-per-minute.html) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
