Side of the box says 35+ gallon for "continuous use", 7-34 gallon for "intermittent use", 1-6 gallon "do not use", and 40psi min to 70psi max. Beyond that, and like most continuous run pneumatic tools, the requirements vary by performance expectations. If you have low requirements and realistic expectations, such as very small paint jobs and/or using thin paints at lower pressure, then it'll probably work. If you want to paint a house, buy/borrow a larger compressor. If it helps, here's my last project with this, painting a 14x26ft cinderblock outbuilding: On my 12 gallon (4hp, ~20 year old, mediocre worn-out condition), using heavy extra-durable exterior-grade latex + primer (not thinned) at ~60psi, it can cover about 40 sq. ft (~5x8ft) of wall before the pressure drops off noticeably, then another ~10ft with decreasing spray quality (narrower thicker spatter-y pattern) before needing to wait a few minutes for recharge. Not sure about the line pressures over that cycle, rough guesstimate maybe ~40-60psi for regular spray pattern, then ~30-40psi diminishing returns, and not usable below ~30psi. You can probably guesstimate performance by timing how long your compressor can maintain those line pressures. Final note on durability, the body is a fragile cast iron, it can last for decades or split in half on the first ~2ft drop on concrete. Hope that helps...

You might be able to run two guns if you are shooting stain but definitely not for latex paint with a 517 tip. Only the biggest sprayers can handle that. I am a contractor and I shoot up to 40 gallons per week through this.

no you don't have to paint it, you can to give it your desired color, the most you can do is line in the small channels with grey or black lining marker

Its just paint, so should work. Just remember there are different shades of white. So use sparingly and try a small place first.

First off, only water based FLAT paints should be used. You can purchase a spray gun for about $25 on Amazon and use it in conjunction with an air compressor. This will allow you to use any water based paints. This is, if you want to get the most even and consistent crackle effect. You will be spinning your wheels experimenting with aerosol spray paints.

The standard inverted marking paint cans work fine. If you are using this machine to line fields, I would recommend getting one with larf error wheels.

That should be plenty. A lot depends on how thick the paint is. Lacquer, no problem, latex enamel and you will have to use the big tip and more air pressure to get proper atomization. I used a 5hp 35 gallon tank with oil based enamel and it worked fine.

No, you'll need to paint it yourself. I got my paint at Michaels, from a brand called testors. You'll need many different colors, so the initial investment will be around $10, but you'll have plenty left over for future projects.

You need to remember that it's the paint and not so much the gun that is the issue. It all depends on which type of paint (mainly how thick and how much you'll need to thin it out). The gun works with latex, oil-based, stains, etc., each of which require different conditions. If your paint is very thick (enamel metal paint may be too thick and can't be thinned enough to work). Need to check your paint instructions.

I'm not sure because I haven't used a marker on mine. However, the wood is really smooth. I would try using a permanent marker rather than a water-based crayola type. It would probably work fine.

Yes, but it is only a pint so by the time you get a roller going you won't have much left. Your best bet would be to g8 to y8ur local home improvement center. This paint was expensive for the amount you get.

I have only used paint thus far, but I believe you could if you used a smaller tip. I plan to do it in the future.

There is a viscosity cup to test how much to thin your material. There is also a chart included in the instructions. Honestly, I mostly eyeballed it my first time through. You can also adjust the intensity of the paint stream in order to control coverage.

You can get it refilled at a local paintball supply store. The one near me charges $5.

I have no idea. I would suggest calling the company or taking the paint to a craft store and just match it

Yep if not 180 it's very close. I wouldn't get red that paint cracks fast.I have black too. Wish I had hit both black. Good for the price no complaints
