Is a gast pump suitable for use as a air supply
to run a spray paint gun? Do i need to add a
air tank to smooth out the pulsating air coming
from the pump? This pump puts out 30psi with
no problem.

How many CFM at 30PSI??? It is the volume that is generally the
killer.


Don't know the CFM, this pump was originaly used to power a
texture spray gun. Its driven by 1.5hp 3450rpm motor.


Give it a try. If it fails to live up to your expectations, add an air
tank (air pig, propane bottle, etc.) until it can keep up with
whatever you require of it.
