Ah , thanks for that mark  Just for spraying panels , cars and fence panels ect ..

This one has 14cfm Linky 

A spray painting gun will be no good for spraying fence panels IME. It will go everywhere but on the fence. Better to use a garden sprayer / killaspray type device.

I think there is something in one of the kits that allows you to spray this kind of thing ?

There is often a paraffin sprayer, rarely seen a fence sprayer.

My experience of spraying fences is not good even with the proper kit, the dame stuff goes everywhere and does not last as its not been forced into the grain in the same way a brush would.

Ive had good results from thinned down used engine oil on fence panels  Used one of those pump action sprayers . I thought there was one similar in the kit   


Heres the sprayer in the kit ..

Ah, that's what is described more often than not as a paraffin sprayer, its probably ok with a nice thin mix of creosote and engine oil.

Used one of those to spray the garage walls white. Only had a small(tiny) compressor at the time and seemed to work ok.

That's not to say for one momment that it also works for painting bodywork etc, as it won't obviously.


From what little I've encountered of proper painting, a decent regulator is also required. And as far a as I know, not all pumps come with one.

emd, 0.8 small spray guns will be ok with a 50 litre.. but good brands are more money than a car.. there may be places that sell second hand with a suitable price..but you must physically check and test.. if the needle is damaged you pay for nothing..

satajet is always very good for the job and you may use it for long time..  however, 0.8 tip mini spray is suitable for a 1-2 panels but never for a whole car..  and it always paints better than a 1.3 in terms of orange peel.. also you must check the spray pattern for oval and circular shapes..

even this with some practice can create professional looking jobs

ps: from time to time you must seperate the pieces and keep the parts in solvent for a some time
