Have the same air compressor that I used to paint my first car project. Used a LVLP 1.4 tip ebay special, 95 psi output from the air compressor and 20 psi paint gun output. Worked great!!!!

Thanks for the shout out. The Ignition system doesnt even have 200 miles on it. Hope it helps your car run better, keep up the great work.

Nice setup, sounds very quiet. If there is still vibration in the house, try adding rubber mat underneath. I have the Kobalt 80 gallon bolted to the ground with 3/4" rubber mat between it and the concrete. Removed the vibration to the concrete. Just a thought.

I bought a 64... in 64. No restorations required! Today, the 64 is gone... along with my youth! There must be a poem in there somewhere???

painting a car is very simple, prepping the car is what we all wanna see, boring or not, the prep work is makes the Paint look amazing, so i hope if you ever paint another car in the future, you would show the prep work *Smile*

Keep it going. You help to keep up motivated as well. Almost done with the wiring on my 67stang. Got her started again with the new harness.

I hesitated on buying this at lowes the other day.. my use for it would be to paint my little crx.. and do some sand blasting tires and maybe a sir impact. After seeing the 4.5scfm at 90 psi I was thinking it wouldn't work and I need a 60 gallon do to the gun I have says 14.5 at 40 psi.. good to know u can get a cheap gun that will work with this compressor... might have to go scoop 300 for a 26 gallon is crazy cheap

if memory serves me correct. At the back of the new Air compressor is the exaust. you'll see a small hole and if you put a small hose that fits that hole will cut the noise another 10%. and the hose only needs to be about 4 inches long. try it you'll hear the difference

Sweet setup! I still haven't settled on what spray gun to buy yet. My 60gal. compressor is about 90 decibel but it builds up moisture fast. A small amount of oil is also getting into the hose and eventually to the air tools. Air being compressed heats up and that creates moisture. And the temperature here in South Texas doesn't help either.

Just painted primer on my 69 fastback Mustang I know exactly what your talking about with keeping up your motivation it’s a long road

I actually am getting the same exact compressor for our Mustang build. I have only had a 3 gallon Harbor Freight compressor since we bought our house a few years ago. At the time, I didn't have need for air tools, so it was fine

She's an Eagles Fan! I am really excited about your progress 👊 😃 Smart idea to cool the air before the drier, that's why I am not a painter never would have thought of that 😅😂

If you use old hockey pucks as anti vibration pads works well

Now you can buy some air grinding and sanding tools 👍👍👍

🤙stay motivated my dude, The only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time

Hey, it been 5 months how was the spry gun. The kit looks to be complete only question is how does it work? Primer sprayed with 1.7 and base at 1.3 or 1.4? Thanks

Compressor looks good, but you didn't mention the most important part; what mask setup are you using and where are you spraying the car? If you're doing it in that garage, you'll need a serious fan setup and ideally an air-fed mask. If it's outdoors, then 3M make a filter mask that they confirmed to me will deal with isocyanates, but the removable filter will likely be only good for a couple of cars. I don't remember the model number but you'll want to call 3M anyway and explain your setup, usage and see what the filter can handle on your paint's MSDS sheet. Cost of the mask I was looking at was around $450 AUD, so likely half that in USD. PLEASE don't get suckered into the videos of dudes spraying in a garage with just a plain mask and saying "she'll be right mate", the fact that they haven't suffered any repercussions from doing so doesn't mean you won't. Research the chemicals you're dealing with and the setup needed to accommodate them, because people have died from spraying nitrocellulose as well as isocyanates, and the symptoms don't always occur immediately. It's no joke. You'll probably want to spray 2 pack too, since it's physically much harder than a single stage paint. There exists an iso-free 2 pack paint, it's apparently harder to spray, costs more and is more limited in colours, but it exists. Used mostly in the furniture industry. At a minimum, you'll want to cover EVERYTHING in plastic, wet the floor, wear a full suit, have really good fan ventilation and a mask that is rated for whatever you're using (no cheap masks, spend what you have to from a legitimate vendor like 3M), which seals to your face and covers your eyes. Chemicals can enter from the eyes very easily., Kids, dogs, spouses, etc don't go in that booth until everything is done, the plastic is gone and it has been cleaned out. I hate to be the "omg safety please" guy, it's not like I don't do things in my own garage that would fail an OH&S assessment, but the chemicals involved with spray painting have to be taken deadly seriously.

Awesome setup. I've been looking at those kobalt compressors and now I'm tempted to pick one up. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see it painted

Thanks for the 411 on LVLP guns. I wanted an HVLP gun to do my car, but they require at least a 60 gallon compressor, and those are generally 240V which I don’t have at home.

I've been trying to decide between the kobalt and dewalt... for $150 more you get a small amount of more cfm's with the dewalt, and it's louder... I think I'll go with the kobalt. Great review!

I actually returned this and this 30 gallon craftsman, they kick in within 3 minutes of spraying ): I think I’m going to try the Fuji. My Wagner flexio is all around better than the hvlp setup

Could you paint the whole car with it or not didn't see the video

hi keep up with the good work .

Nice compressor! Wow that thing is quiet.

Oh man,everytime i see you workin on your mustang got me that feeling to buy also one finally :-D

Can you do a video for the average beginning user

Update: I will not be using this spray gun. I took it apart to clean it before the first use, changed the tip out, and after reassembly it had an air leak. It may have been an error on my part, but I’m still opting to use a different gun with this compressor. I’ll cover the new gun in the follow up video.

Hey man I have that same compressor and was thinking about painting some jeep parts, how did it hold up for you? Was it sufficient to do the job? What guns did you use, you should upload another video about that man!

Ya my air compressor is not quite at all. Thought you can’t hear it in the rest oi the house

Welp, just found your channel because I was researching that exact Kobalt air compressor. Now staying cause I too have a 1965 mustang that I am restomoding and watch ton of 1st gen mustang videos but haven't seen yours for some reason. Small world I suppose

Thanks for sharing brother. I'm planning to change my car color. My car paint is really nice, but I just wan a different color. Do you think that I have to sand and primer it, or just sand it and throw the paint. Thanks in advance. 👍

Hey there Andrew !!! Nice compressor !!! It's always great to see your progress !!! I wish you great success with your new spraygun. Btw, did you get all the pics I sent you ? Take care

can i still use 10gallon

Get a Camaro 79 Z28 v8👍🏻👍🏻😆😆

I can hear my compressor from the furthest part of the house. my bedroom, at 3 am. Bad news is so does my wife who was not happy.

Man your garage needs some cleaning and organizing.

reduce the size of your hose the compressor wont have to work so hard

I know you already have Joe Daddy and others to help you but I'm along for the ride here so I'll pipe in. I not a newbie but in some things I am. Just cut a vid today on my Civic project that got paint yesterday check it out if you want it's very short. Everything that could go wrong did but I have paint on the Honda and I think I can salvage what I've got. The blocking seemed good except a spot I missed on a brand new hood that is low. I try to turn on the camera more and I watch all your vids keep up the good work. Thought of a color yet? Or factory because it's a 'resto'-mod?

Weird how the kobalt doesn’t give scfm at 40 psi like every other compressor.

Keep it goin! Cant wait to see the progress and learning....I been there, if you have any questions, i be glad to answer what i can also. I,m still working on mine so it still fresh in the noggin. ;) If you get me your email i be glad to send you some photos

First

Nice. Good stuff.
