Thanks a lot for the replays. I did not buy anything yet. The reason I want to go for high end gun is that usually I pick a tool in the value line and soon after I spend more money on the proffessional tool because I want something better, so it really ends up costing more. Here is what I will probably get: Sata Minijet http://www.spraygunworld.com/products/SATA...%20SAT53538.htm compressor http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Disp...temnumber=47065 air filter/regulator to be reasearched

Hi All, This is my first post to this forum but I have been reading this forum for a while. Great forums btw. I have a question regarding spray gun and compressor requirements. I searched the net and these forums and still there is one point that I am not clear about. Here is goes. I want to buy a spray gun and a compressor. I know that you have to match the guns cfm requirements with the compressors cfm for continues operation. eg. SATAJET RP DIGITAL 2 requires 10.3 cfm at 29PSI so the compressor has to deliver at least 10.3 cfm at 29psi, now if I have a compressor that delivers 8.8 cfm & 40psi (21g tank) and I use it with this gun will the gun get its required 10.3 cfm at 29psi and the compressor will have to refill the tank once in a while? or is the compressor totally not capable of producing 10.3 at 29 psi and I will have to spray at lower cmf? Also if it is the case that this compressor is capable of producing 10.3 cfm at 29psi aprox. how long will it take before the compressor has to refill the tank? Thanks
