I work for a construction company and I may have access to a large tow behind air compressor we use to run jack hammers. We have used it to paint a tail gate on a dump truck and the paint did turn out good for being done outside. just curious if anyone has gone this route. And what to look out for. I'd run 2 air dryers. One large at the compressor, and another small at the gun, as well as a regulator at the gun. Just looking for input. I figure as long as I keep the filters inline, this would be a good option because volume, and presure would not be an issue what so ever.

Does anyone see an issue with my idea?

Not at all. Most of those are much better than a little garage compressor. Just be sure its putting out clean dry air and your good to go. Tho volume of air those put out is awesome and you should never see any sort of drop. Id use it in a heartbeat.

Thanks for your input. I'll probably go this route.
