Porter Cable compressor size versus spray gun size

by Bob H
(Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island)

I have a 6 gal,150 psi Porter Cable pancake compressor. No hp stated. power output of 2.6 scfm @ 90 psi. I am looking at a porter cable hvlp spray gun rated at 3.6 cfm @ 40 psi. Could I use this or am i stuck with purchasing an LVLP spray gun

The hunt continues for updated information about compressor outflow capacity versus outflow pressure levels.

On the site map page, under the CFM section, see the page on Calculating CFM for guidance.

Cheers,
