the downside to running nonstop for 30 minutes at a time is it's really hard to keep moisture to a minimum.

NO KIDDING!!!


Go with the Finex and a better compressor. I have a Campbell Hausfeld 28 gallon diaphram pump compressor that puts out 7.4 CFM at 40 psi and 6.1 at 90 psi. It works well but it is LOUD! It keeps up okay until I start using an orbital sander, then after 20 minutes I start getting moisture in the sander. I will be upgrading my compressor to a 2 stage piston style pump in a bit. For painting an airplane though it is perfectly capable at keeping up with even large-quart sized spray guns.

I painted this model with an even cheaper gun than the Finex and it turned out quite nice. This is David Rosado's (aka FalconWings) BVM Composite Bandit.
