I'm using an IR 60 gallon, 5hp, 2 stage compressor rated 14.8 CFM@90 psi.
I think the hood and gun together exceed the compressors output.
We shot a VW bug last summer. Shell in one session, parts in another, using the gun and hood. Only took about 10 minutes for each session.
During that time between the tank and compressor the necessary output was maintained, but the motor ran continuously.
Much longer and I'm sure CFM would've dropped too low.
Yes, still using the Chinese filter on a belt.
Just using the Flexilla hose. It has only ever had air filtered through the Arrow system run through it.
This setup wouldn't pass muster for daily professional use.
But I think it is far superior to a cartridge type mask and I'm happy with it for a couple hours use per year.
