I've been curious about this too. Some guns are designed to run off
regular compressors, but the CFM they need might exeed my little
portable. Some of the others use a turbine, not a compressor (I have a
hunch it's a glorified vacuum-cleaner motor) Still, I'm a ways away from
the large painting portion of any projects, so keep us updated!
