That probably wont do the job properly.

You'll get inconsistent pressures, and there's a good chance the compressor it self wont keep up.

Try and get something with a slightly bigger tank, and buy a GOOD quality regulator. I can not insist that enough. If you get a dodgy one, the pressures will fluctuate when you start spraying, and that'll really piss you off.

hold up yeah mate doesnt it come with a regulator on the compressor but do u mean but one that goes on the gun yes? to avoid air lose was looking at the 'SCA' one from sc

Generally the ones that come with the compressors are total rubbish, especially if it's a cheapo.

Might be a bit better if you get a full on professional compressor.

ya could always get an aftermaket regulator, they work much better than the built-in ones, .. or you can even buy fittings that go onto the spraygun that lets you modify the air pressure, .. But really it depends on what type of spraygun you have, if you have a HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) Spraygun the compressors useless, but if you have a LVLP (Low Volume, Low Pressure) gun it could be okay as the HVLP guns need about a 5-6 Horsepower compressor, and around 60L in size, big hungary things they are lol, but they work much better IMO
