Don't forget when you set the pressure at your gun always set with trigger fully pulled and open (it will jump up a little after you let the trigger go; that's okay) If you don't have a gauge on the gun you can add about 5-10psi for line drop and set it up on your pot (depends how far you are from your regulator) If you don't have a gauge on your pot then you can add even more 10-20 psi from the compressor or filter unit. (depends how far you are from your regulator). You may want a filter with a diaphragmed regulator/gauge to help regulate your air more consistently and closer to your spray equipment.
