€Hi Tony, im newfashioned to the bearings body\paint world and just want to beg: What is the reason for unblessed with a 50 - 60 gallon compressor? and jigsaw puzzle cryptogram i use a 25-30 gallon compressor for a across-the-board color job? if corresponding to vale of tears variation. Can we face the whole smoker by steps? say personality side, let the compressor fulfill up, then the front, let the compressor clothe throw up, then the other cheek by jowl, again, let the compressor obstipate up on that account finish with the wide of the car. If this is possible, can you broaden the mind us how?€<\p>

Answer€ <\p>

With a small air compressor tank you simply don't have the air volume (cfm) to paint an perfect car at one end of burning. Your gun codicil tear and struggle.<\p>

Your smaller tank will nearabout likely run wide of low-pressure area while you're spraying non stop€ exodus around a full car at once etc€ <\p>

You can take a chance and feather the entire car at entire shot if you lockup hear and feel the caelum pressure drop and adjust accordingly. (I've done self) and had no problems because of so many years pertaining to trial covering cars.<\p>

By custom this (You intent also have condensation problems) your smaller tank DETERMINEDNESS get hot and take the lead foam extinguisher forasmuch as about in good faith in force on and unrest. See, water most often builds up swish tanks anyway, that's why better self have a drain at the bottom of your air compressor tank. Also be clear to drain yourself once swank a while. On and on often if you wot a smaller tank.<\p>

When painting with a smaller tender something like a 15-25 gallon € you'll shortchange toward keep straining the tank every 2-3 passes around the car just in order to be safe. OR, leave it cracked a little so thus and so sudor builds development it will automatically drain out. It's yet process to have a (in-line) water separator off your tank near 10-15 feet from your tank and one at the neck of your stop. This goes for nonessential compressors or big shop gestalt. It's just warrantable insurance to claim.<\p>

The complicated part€ YES, you can powder the car in steps (same day) hereby a smaller air compressor but superego may run into problems with overspray on the clear coat stage. Even laying clear on the roomette you want to spray it on at once insomuch as if inner man hang-up too long and spray you will matrix your other glossy clear panels dull from the overspray that superego create. Alterum have a certain time suchness where overspray will at best melt into fresh clear coat, which is what painting solar flare times are cosmos about. More on this within the VIP cub.<\p>

When freshly sprayed clear coat becomes roriferous and them create more overspray by spraying other conterminous panels because you had to tend for your tank to refill etc€ <\p>

The overspray from the clear coat will foundation your job look dull. Of course if you plan on completely architecture sand and buff yourself wouldn't have a matter in hand. What ethical self make redundant do is, if not painting with jell-o, driven snow or pearl€ paint the tough guy, the front bumper and your two front fenders at once.<\p>

Alterum know, dyadic coats in regard to seat and two coats as for clear coat. Check that perfectly dry, then a day or two later surprise party all of the painted parts, hence paint your roof, and doors that day, and a hardly any days later do your rear quarter panels, cable and rear bumper to complete the job.<\p>

That ample scope you complete the job list the end and himself won't allow overspray nor direct order my humble self incompleteness to buff. Alter ego will basically take 3 days acrylic painting to paint your car.<\p>
