Will a 8 gallon 1.5 hp compressor work for the 1.4 mm tip hvlp gun? the details say it supports hvlp spray painting intermittent

You will need to go slowly to let the compressor catch-up with the gun. If you have a Harbor Freight near you, pick up a digital air regulator that attaches at the air inlet of the gun. When you set the gun preasure to the paint manufactures specification, have the trigger of the gun wide open and adjust while air is running through the gun. I use the digital regulator to make sure my setting is correct. That's more info than you asked for but these were issues when I used the gun. Good luck

Depends on how big the job is. Spray guns use a lot of air. An 8 gallon tank may be too small for constant spraying

I worried about the size of my compressor at first also. I have a Kobalt cheap 5.5 gallon 1 HP compressor and it ran the gun well. I also used a small pancake Porter Cable and it also ran it easy. That being said, the type of work and speed you do it really will determine what compressor will work better. If you're working at a slow pace and doing work yourself with one gun I think a small pancake compressor or any will work good. It will recover as you go. If you will be working fast and maybe have more guns, then you will need a bigger compressor that can keep up. If you're also buying a compressor and you have enough money to get, I would have loved to have the DeWalt model D55146. Thats a good compressor that can recover fast and is built to work better if you're a hardcore framer and or running 2 guns at one time.

Consider the lighter Flexio 890. It has features similar to the Flexio 590 except the heavy compressor stays on the ground and compressed air is delivered to the lighter hand unit by hose. Wagner 0529021 Flexio 890 HVLP Paint Sprayer Station

For occasional and light duty work I would say yes. The compressor is very quiet and yet has quick recovery and holds good pressure. I would not agree to professional or prolonged use with a spray gun or any high cfm consumption tools. This handles my nail guns and airs an occasional tire with ease.

If you have 1/4 psi at the point of use. I think it will work fine. My run was too long and ended up removing 16 nozzles. And now it runs fine, just less btu's.

I have run a framing nailer from this compressor. Sometimes I would have to wait for the compressor to "catch-up" but certainly useable. Not sure a professional builder wouldn't want a bigger tank. I would not attempt to run 2 of them at once. Check the framing nailer manual for the CFM and PSI requirements.

Yes, it will service any paint gun up to 100# of pressure. Be aware, though, the compressor will run quite a bit because of the small storage tank.

Dean, I would contact DeVilbiss for a better answer than I could provide you. Our shop had a huge compressor that ran everything. I'm thinking that if you didn't do a lot of spraying a 3 or 4 HP would work especially if you use any other pneumatic tools.

It's not big enough for spraying, roofing or framing guns in production work but it is the best 1 gal (not 3) compressor I have found.

The 1.4 is for thinner materials, the 2.0 tip will work for thicker paint and primer. The gun has 3 separate adjustments. (1) on the regulator for air pressure (2) for less or more paint when you pull trigger (3) adjust spray pattern to fan wide or be concentrated in a small area.

Hello Alan, I am afraid you cannot use Black & Decker BDPH400's (power unit) compressor with any other type of 3rd party spray guns. The reason being, the (power unit) compressor and the supplied gun are designed to work only with one another. If you've notice, the hose size on the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun is comparatively smaller to the one of the Black and Decker gun. If you can find a reducer attachment for the Black and Decker power unit (compressor) to match the hose size of the 'HomeRight C800863' spray gun, then it might work. There's no guarantee though that it will. I haven't tried painting ceilings with this product yet; hence, I am unsure about your second question. I hope this helps!

You need a compressor with a tank for airbrush. This compressor is not going to work for you.

Update on this gun. Have been spraying guitar Sunbursts now for a week. This gun is everything , everyone here says it is. the 1.6 HP 33 gal compressor works just fine. I bought 4 of these guns.

I have a 30 gallon compressor with a water & oil separator between the compressor and gun. I have a old Craftsman compressor that provides 10 CFM @ 40 PSI and 6 CFM @ 90 PSI and the max PSI is 110 for this compressor. The gun runs on 21 PSI at the gun. I do fine with spot repair and panel repair with the compressor I have. I have never attempted to paint an entire auto with it. That would require a larger compressor that will give you continuous CFM at the gun. New compressors however have higher PSI 135 I think. I hope this helps.

I have an 8hp 125 psi from Harbor Freight....it worked but there is a wheel attached to the hopper that dictates the amount you want to spray.Hope that helps...oh...get so drop cloths.....plenty.....Good luck....

I purcahsed a DeVilbiss HVLP spray gun and this unit simultaneously. They are not a suitable match. My gun requires 13 SCFM. Even at 120psi I could not get the required air to pass it, so I just laid it aside. Not worth the trouble or cost to return.

I have a airbrush compressor that is 1/5 HP oil-less and quite quiet. It will overheat after like an hour or so, but works great, just make sure if you get a small compressor that you do NOT get one without a tank on it. It should look like 2 tanks on top of each other. If you get one without a air tank on the bottom you will get inconsistent air pressure as well as overheat it pretty quick. Mine is a silver motor on top of a black tank and is pretty small has a moisture trap and air hose. Also this airbrush is probably not going to be best suited for you if you are going to be painting miniatures. The needle is large which allows quite a bit of paint to come out making it very difficult to paint small details. I would recommend the badger renegade krome. The patriot seems to work well with putting out a lot of paint. I use my patriot for laying down kandy colors over a larger surface than a miniature. The krome will produce hair size lines, or like inch size lines, with the 105 patriot you will likely not get any finer of a line than a skinny marker would give you.
