Thanks for the link, very imformative graemlins/thumbsup.gif
Question I was discussing with my Dad tonight! Timing!!!

Does anybody know how accurate this test is? I just tried it tonight with my Sharpe platinum LV gun & it passed the test... with a 2 HP 20 gallon speedaire compressor!!!

Does this really mean I could paint my whole car with this tiny compressor?!
