thanks wydir, i think ill go ahead and place an order on one. any recommendations on a dryer system?
[quote=”Wydir” post=24350]well I can’t say I have seen a 700rpm motor most are 1750rpm or 3600rpm and the pumps are turning 700rpm
do you have a model number I could just go to grainger and see what motors are on that comp[/quote]
looks great :rock
motor speed is 700 rpm, pump would go as fast as the motor turns it so idk. i also looked at some other compressors and motor speed is nearly twice that but the pump was the cheap chinese type. the better pumps have slower speed motors turning them.
thanks guys for your input but i got a couple questions for ya, i found a 10hp speedaire compressor, 120 gallon, piston pump and it says it runs at low rpm only 700 or close to that. i couldn’t find much user reviews on a speedaire so does anyone have experience with one? finally, the rpm sounds too low, does that mean its not gonna fill the tank as fast? thanks again
congrats! best thing is having your dad with you at the shop and getting work done as a team.
i havent tried rps cups but ive been using dekups for a while now and i think there great.
my jobber makes it seem like ill send him to the poor house with the prices he charges me
yea 5 year warrenty, i called them let them hear the first one over the phone, they didnt even want it back, they just sent the new one, second one sounds like the first one when it died but it actually has compression. i change the oil often like every month too

my back up compressor has an eaton pump on it and its pathetic. its the 2nd eaton pump ive put on it. the first one went bad after a year so i got it replaced under warrenty and the second one sounds bad and its only been 5 months
[quote=”AllAmericanCollisionllc” post=24221][quote=”Brad Larsen” post=24220]…nor does the customer want to pay for it. Some of us have a client base who will take whatever we give them and damn the costs. Others need an alternative. Go with whatever works, but don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things.[/quote]
This is the truth, you’ve got to give the customer what they wany, but you’ve got to make money too. In my time we have always kept atleast one cheaper clear option on hand for jams that we also use on older, ugly cars, or jobs that the customer wants it fixed and for cheap.
My other thought here is that you should look into other paint options. we use SW directly from a coporate store, and top line clear is nothing near that price.
I’ve also got to ask about the “choice” to use waterborn. I sprayed waterborn paints on almost every job for the last 4 years and FINALLY!!!! :dnc we are using a solvent system again. waterborn is the most difficult paint I’ve ever used, it is incompatible w/ solvent systems and thusly clearcolat delamination and loss of gloss are almost to be expected- unless you jump through those hoops just right and happen to get lucky too. Ever got a drop of waterborn in your solvent clear? or visa-versa? there is an immediate seperating reaction, yet they expect us to shoot that clear over that base coat… haha.I recommend using a “compliant” basecoat. We’re now using Sherwin ATX and it is low VOC, easy to use, and the clear is around $200 sprayable (1 gallon +1 qt catalyst) and it is California Compliant.[/quote]
how has Sherwin ATX treating u? hows color match, coverage, cost, durability etc?
looks really nice, i like the natural lit shop too a lot like my shop

He just knows from experience that he can’t snap in a Honda actuating rod without scratching the paint on the door. :lol1[/quote]
so true! those things are a pain
how bout not buying 600 dollar clear? plenty of clears out there for a fraction of the price and perform well. stop buying everything 3M
