I'm going to dry flake a trailer, I have the correct gun, and I'm going to hire a compressor, does it matter what size compressor I get.
Compressors are measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute)
Normally your spray gun will have that as a reading.
For the Flake King 1050

This particular gun requires a normal size compressor to run and the minimum specification that we recommend would be a 2 CFM and 3 psi up to 20 psi.
You will also need to look at the spec of your gun you are using to spray your lacquer.
Cheers Gordon, that clears it up, I thought I could get away with a 2.5 cfm compressor, didn't fancy lugging a large compressor home
