Hi,
This thread has only a loose relationship with our Reno 4, but there is a link and method in my madness!
I am thinking of getting an air compressor (+ receiver) for my workshop. I have only a limited amount of space to fit it and only a limited amount of cash to buy it! However,
I am thinking of buying a 1.5hp oil free air compressor with a 24 litre receiver, or tank. Stated output is 6.2 cfm. That will be enough for my workshop needs, but will it be sufficient to enable me to spray say a bonnet or door on our Reno 4 and achieve - given practice, fair winds and a favourable tide - a reasonable finish? If so, what spray gun should I go for? If not, what minimum size of air compressor/receiver should I aim for and what spray gun should I require? And what paint should I use?
I am a novice when it comes to paint spraying, hence the request for advice, and I would not be spraying the 2 pack stuff what with all the elf n' safety stuff I have read, I think more like spraying cellulose or the like, but would welcome the advice other who have been there, done it, could give.
