Thread: Switching to air tools...

Tweet

As the thread title implicates, I'm looking to get into the use of air tools and such. Over the past few months, I've taken a keen interest in automotive painting; therefore, I need to get a compressor and other tools. The problem is that I know absolutely nothing about air compressors, air tools, or paint guns. I was just curious if you guys could link me to some websites that talk about the use of air compressors, etc.. Because frankly, I have not one clue about them. Other questions I have are how do I know how much pressure to use? How do I know what the ideal settings are? And questions like that.

Any help, tips, or websites would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might look at this thread on paint guns,it might help on choosing an air compressor as HVLP guns take 13+ CFM's . They require mass amounts of air.
