Painting with Compressor
I have a nice compressor, 13.4CFM @ 40PSI.
What type of spray gun should I use, for painting wood? Is an iwata knock off, which is normally meant for cars, just fine for interior paint too?
Thanks!

Exactly what sort of paint are you using.
I use "cheap" gravity fed HVLP spray guns for all my spray painting, which has included auto acrylic lacquers, epoxy enamels and water based interior paints.Cheers.

I think latex paint is like our water based "house" paint.
Should spray fine, but will require thinning. I'd use a gravity fed HVLP gun with about a 1.8 or 2.0 tip.Cheers.

Re: Painting with Compressor
I'm curious to hear more about this. I've been having a rough time spraying latex with my compressor set up.
