Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to get an air compressor for some work around the house. It would mostly be used for nail guns to replace siding and trim. However, I do want to be able to spray wall texture occasionally (The walls have been "fixed" in various spots and I'm probably going to redo entire walls. A couple of walls are so bad I think they just threw the sprayer in the room and ran away). I'm fine with going slow when spraying texture as long as I can still get a good result. The compressor I'm looking at is a 6 gallon @ 175 PSI, with 3.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI. This seems perfect for nail guns ( I think), but texture guns seem to consume 2-9 SCFM. Do you that will be fine for periodic use, or will it be maddening slow? My goal would be to texture and paint a roughly 10ft by 12ft room in a weekend. I'll be using a roller and brush for paint so that is not a concern.
Sorry if its a silly question, but when researching this stuff it's getting so hard to find non-ai generated website's that are just trying to sell shit.
For nail guns and occasional texture work, I recommend a 24-liter compressor with at least 200 liters per minute (e.g., Abac Bambi 24/250 or Einhell TC-AC 240/8/10). If you plan to do texture work more frequently, a 50-liter model (e.g., Scheppach HC100D) would be the better choice.
