Nothing worse than when you buy something that promises so much more than it delivers. The videos

make it look amazing, but the reality is somewhat different.

I remember buying a used surfboard that had featured on the front page of a magazine, it looked

amazing in the photo, however, the reality was, it was not a good fit for me or my level of surfing at

the time - what I really needed was good advice.

Compressed Air spray painting systems can give some of the most amazing results, whether using a small air brush or a fully automated gun. Here are some things to consider when choosing this set up.

1 The Air Compressor: The air compressor is the most crucial component in a conventional spray system. It is often the main reason for poor results. Spray guns have an ideal Air Rating - CFM (cubic feet / minute). When choosing a compressor for spray painting, look for the highest CFM you can get for your budget, at a bare minimum it needs to be bigger than your guns requirements.

2 The Filters - Keep the moisture out!: Water condensation is a byproduct of compressing air, inline filters are a cost effective and convenient way to remove moisture from the air supply.

3 The Air Hose - It's more important than you think!: When choosing an air hose you need to consider 3 factors - Length, Diameter and Material.
