Hey guys, I am looking to buy my first large air compressor (looking at a 60 gallon Husky) to be able to use air tools but mostly to paint with HVLP guns. The advertised “SCFM” (I know I have always heard make sure you are not getting SCFM & CFM confused so that is why I am here) is 13.4 SCFM@40 PSI and 11.5@90 PSI and I went and converted that to ACFM which at sea level where I am at in average spring temperatures equates to approximately 4.9 ACFM and the gun I am looking at (Eastwood Concours 2) is rated for 4.25CFM@30PSI. But say a gun like a Graco AirPro HVLP (like I use at work) requires approximately 13.5CFM@15-29psi. Do you think this would be enough of a compressor & tank to support the Eastwood Concours 2 gun? Or are there any cost-effective alternatives that loom around the $600ish price point that would provide better air delivery? I appreciate it if you made it this long into the post and I look forward to your advice!
Thanks, Jeremy
