Can I use a spray gun (paint sprayer) with my compressor?

Can I use a spray gun (paint sprayer) with my compressor?

Yes, but the compressor size and it’s CFM (Free Air) is what matters.
Large compressor = many spray gun options
Small compressor = mini/midi spray guns.

A 24 litre compressor is suitable for *low free air spray guns or airbrushes* ( < 4.5 cfm).
A 50 Litre compressor would be suitable for most smart repair mini midi spray applications.
A typical full sized spray gun would require a larger compressor > 50 litre.
