Default HVLP Paint Sprayer Recommendations

Anyone used the 3M Accuspray gun? Seems like a great tool for spraying gel coat and polyester topcoats. Spray head is disposable and they come in 3-4 diameters. I am going to try one

Default HVLP Paint Sprayer Recommendations

For a dryer, either pick low humidity days, or.......

I will guess most smaller shops/homes are looking at 125PSI @5CFM or so.
Pick a dessicent dryer or small refrigerated dryer.
Granger.com sells a number of units in North America.

Long copper pipe runs from the compressor to use helps cool the air so more water drops out.
A water filter can remove more.
A water to air intercooler can also drop more water out.
A dryer removes even more water.

Everything you do to help limit entrained water makes tools work better and lessens water in paint/gel coat finishes.
