CFM vs FAD CFM

[JOEPRO]

Spraying with a 50L compressor is going to be frustrating at best.

Do also remember to add a water trap some distance from the compressor itself to be effective. All compressors will output moist air and you do not want to be spraying paint with water contamination.

Thanks Joe Joepro, it's only for smart/spot repairs so should be fine. Need a new NRV 1st!

Wouldn't white tape be fine? Why would you need yellow (for fuel gas)?

Thanks

It’s just what I use, I didn’t mention that it was needed.

I tighten this as slight air leak and the internal thread popped. Can both this parts be bought ffs?

Now you know why it was £50, overtightened by a gorilla who got scared and ran away when the spring took off
Low priced compressors tend to have very cheap fittings, if you have a local place that sells to the trade, buy from them. They won't stock junk.
BTW get a filter regulator the one supplied will not last, you do not need an oiler. On some days you get a lot of water and some you don't get any, but one drop will wreck the gloss finish.

£15 original part. Happy days

If anyone is interested, the guy today at the specialist compressor shop (AMA Belfast) said white is OK also.
