Finished Basement Flooring Tips
Can I use my air compressor and a spray gun for the following paint jobs?
All interior work:
I want to prime and latex paint some walls.
I also want to finish oil painting the basement cement floor.
The air compressor is an oiless 8 gallon 150 psi electric model
It easily powers an impact gun
has a regulator knob and two gauges.
The primer is the thickest of the liquids which I want to spray.
I got a HVLP Spray Gun
It has a 2.0 mm tip, All metal construction, and Brass Fan Nozzle with one quart dripless cup. Runs at 20 to 45 psi with 1/4 nps inlet. It has a Air Control, Spray Control, and Fluid Control for making adjustments.
Any advice is appreciated.
The HVLP is the way to go and I would keep the psi down to 30 or so to control the overspray. I also think that your 8 gallon tank is sufficient. It might work the compressor a little overtime because of the constaint drain of the sprayer, but for a one time deal I think will be fine.
I’d do it. Good luck.
