50 to 70psi usually gets you in the right ballpark, what kind of gun have you bought?





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi Pete, its an Omega, recommended by the guy who sprays cars at our local garage. Don't know if it's as good as he say's, (haven't tried it yet). Cheers Ray

Sounds high ??

I use 40-50 for the suction feed gun and 20-30 for my HVLP gravity feed one.
