i have just got hold of an air compressor and gun and its pretty heavy duty but i have no idea how to use it lol. it came with no manual and i was wondering if anybody could offer some insight into this because it will help me out greatly as once i have sprayed certain areas of my case i can call it a finished product thanks

Can we get a S/N, make and model?, Maybe even a pic or 2?

ok i have just gone and taken a whole bunch of pictures i hope it helps

alright well it is for the most part "mindless" to use there is a switch with writing on the box it is mounted to it should say on of auto turn it to autoand plug in

i ahve tried that and left it about 10 mins and everything seemed to be working but the pressure gauges remained unchanged. i dont know if i need to leave it longer or if perhaps im not doing something right

make sure the drain valve is closed you should store it opened and make sure you have a close valve for your outlet air

ok thanks ill try it 2moro and see if it works

okay you have it closed i think but you need to buy or put your connecto on there



the area in red with where you need to put it and here is what they look like

Remember when your mixing the paint its normally a 50/50 mix of paint to thinners,And you have to make sure that its not too thick or to thin,It would clog up the gun,Or just would be too thin and pretty much drip off the computer

thnx 4 the advice....when i switch it to auto do i have to leave it running for a certain amount of time or will it switch itself off when its finished

Ok,Well you you see that black knob by the smaller of the 2 gauges,That adjusts the presure that will be held in the tank,I cant quite remember what sort of presure you use for painting at the moment,Once you have your presure set and the tank gets to that presure it will auto cut off,and will start up when it drops to a certien point

Im pretty sure its around 20-25 PSI for Painting but i maybe wrong

the gauge on the left is your tank pressure and the one on the right is your line pressure. the black box above the tank pressure gauge is the pressure switch. the pressure switch will automatically turn the compressor off and on when the red lever on it is in the "on" or "auto" position (usually a 20psi drop before the unit will turn on). the black knob above the line pressure gauge is your pressure reguator-turning it left or right will increase or decrease the line pressure (the pressure the spray gun will run at).


don't forget to remove the plastic plug, that hole is your air intake. you might also want to look into a filter to put on there. not only will it clean the air, it will also make it run quieter.

what about the spray gun? any pics?

oh right thanks for the help everybody i really appreciate it

ok i got it up and running now i just wanna say thank you to everyone who helped!!!!! just one last thing does anybody know how wot psi a spray gun should work best at?

Between 20-25 PSI,Get a bit of metal or somthing ot use to test on untill you get the spray set up all right so it doesnt spray it on too thick or too thin,hehe we use our WIP race car in the shed for testing the spray gun out,Just play around with the settings untill you get them right,also there will be a knob on the gun which will adjust the spray from wide to short sprays,your normally want it wider so it covers more area but also gives it a light coat each time to prevent runs,So make sure you do a few light coats insted of 1 heavy one
