Default Learning to spray paint

I found that if I cinched the strap up so that the bottom of the turbine

I could then snake the air supply hose down my right arm to the gun. I
was able to move around fairly naturally and easily in the makeshift
paint booth that way. The supply hose stayed attached to my air fairly
well that way. It's sort of the same thing you do with a gas welding
torch.

You don't have air hoses to drag around, but you do have a drop cord to
worry over; though, it is light in comparison. Lots of extra cheap cord
curled up under the project so that you're never having to drag it far
was my answer to that.


On my gun you would never carry around the turbine. It is heavy. It
will supposedly drive two guns at once. I also run an extra length of
hose just to give the air more time to cool before hitting the gun.
