Spray Gun for Hitachi EC79 Compressor

[xli1]

Can somebody recommend a spray gun that can be used with my Hitachi EC79 compressor? It seems that most of the spray gun require more air flow than EC79 compressor can provide. Thanks in advance.

I doubt if there is such a spray gun made. Even if you can find one, the air tank lacks sufficient size to support running the gun for anything but short bursts.

try doing a search here and on the internet and Amazon or Rockler or Woodcraft for the Critter.
This is a low cost, low air consumption sprayer for hobby use that also uses 1 pint mason jars for the paints, its easy to remove, clean and change paints (keep separate jars with the differet paints and appropriate solvents). The jars are cheap, easily available and come with gasketed metal airtight lids for storage.

Many people use them with the 1.5 HP compressors. I don't know what specs yours has.

Might want to give the Wagner Conversion gun a look as well. From gleem paint review....

"The little 2hp 6 gallon pancake compressor I used in my review did the job with this gun"

Link to gleem . It has the full review as well. Amazon carries it as well but for $10 more.

I think that's OK with the Critter. Critter claims it'll work with 3/4 HP compressors with no tank (zero gals).

try reading the reviews at Amazon.
The biggest complaint I have heard about this sprayer is that its top heavy when set down, it falls over.
