Hi all im a newbie with a few questions. Firstly a little background; Im planning on doing some small paint jobs on my car ie wings etc. I have bought a wolf air 2.5hp 9.5cfm 50l compressor and a sealey gold 1.4mm GF spray gun.
I have been experimenting with setting up the gun for the first time today. The manual explains that the gun pressure should be between 30-60psi. I assume this is with the trigger depressed?
For 30 psi at the gun the pressure at the compressor needs to be around 90psi. While experimenting with pressure and spray pattern i noticed that the compressor doesnt start recharging until the pressure drops to 90/95psi. The problem i have is i cant determine the optimum spray pressure because the compressor doesnt stay constant between 90-115psi. Did i buy the wrong compressor?
