I plan to fluid film my vehicles this fall. The issue I have is I think my 3 gallon HF air compressor is too small. While it will do 100 psi, adequate to run the fluid film gun, I'm afraid I might only get a few seconds of spray time before I need to allow the air compressor to catch up.
I do not run power tools off my air compressor. In the past I've only used it to fill tires. The problem I ran into recently though, was I tried to run a HF pneumatic brake bleeder off it. I could only get 5-8 seconds of suction until I lost the required PSI.
So I'm thinking I've upgrading, maybe to the HomeDepot 8 gallon air compressor. Would that be enough capacity to get by with the small jobs that I do?
**I do not want to go too large and quite frankly, I don't want to spend a lot of money either
