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.

probably not a full sized gun - please post the rest of your
requirements before re-asking the question - what is the flow required
by the gun, at what pressure. Please also understand that GAST has a
web site on which they identify the characteristics of all of their
pumps - you will find much more accurate information at that location.
Please note that rotary vane pumps are unlikely to supply more than 30
psi, and that the oilless pumps add carbon to the exhaust air while the
oil type add oil to the exhaust air. You will need to determine if your
painting requirements can tolerate either oil or carbon added to the finish.
