is this compressor overkill for spraying cases?


and i want a decent gun after reading a thread on this forum i have decided i want either the SHARPE FINEX FX1000 MINI HVLP or the Sata Jet Spray Gun 3000 HVLP digital

the sharpe is a mini and the sata isnt which would be the best option the mini or the regular?

thanks in advance guys

If you haven't purchased the HVLP gun yet but the Titan. You are limiting yourself with the mini. The Sharpe may be a better quality gun, but with the smaller nozzle (1.0mm compared to 1.8mm) you may have problems spraying thicker materials.

You never know, you may find you like painting and want to do it more in the future!

Way too much overkill for the size of the job. Save $ and buy an airbrush kit instead. You can easily paint the box then get creative with fine detail. Any hobby stores sell good ones.

Yeah, definitely don't do that. You will not get even coverage and your mils will not be thick enough. Airbrush is fine for detail work, but not for covering large areas. Plus with only an airbrush gun, that's all you will be able to do, airbrush. With a decent paint gun that will come in handy for many projects in the future.
