[QUOTE="russ010, post: 44213, member: 677"] That's a 150psi compressor. I had the hose pressure set at 40... I started off painting in small sections and stopping, then I said to hell with it and just kept going. It didn't sputter on me at all, but it took a little adjusting on a piece of plywood before I hit the boat. I've got a few runs, but only because I didn't get all primer runs from yesterday wet sanded all the way down. (you're technically supposed to wait until the next day, but I don't always follow the rules. The guy at the boat store where I bought the paint told me it would take 2 quarts to paint this boat. I used 1 quart of primer and 1 quart of paint... and I"ve still got some left over. I thinned it out with medium reducer from O'Reilys. I wasn't paying the high prices for the same stuff at Boater's World. Mixed it at a ratio of 5:1 and that stuff went on great. If you decide to paint your boat, you can borrow my gun if you want to bassboy. (That is, if you don't already have one.)
