I've changed some things since the start of this thread...i sitll hate painting...
I now run a Craftsman oiless compressor with a 17 gallon tank with automatic water ejection... with an in line coelescing filter/water trap ( extreme overkill) .... the only Badger left is the cresensda 175... i do all my metalic spraying with it.. and single color coverage as well..I now have a pair of iwata top feeds for detail work... all run off of a manifold with individual regulators and disposable filters.. presure is 30psi for all but metalics.. metallics are sprayed at 40... I now starin all my pint through a paint filter and most nights it goes off with out a hitch... but I still hate painting....

Sometimes you can find a deal on a Badger refurb / demo at Garage Sale
I got a 200 for 25 plus shipping a month ago  |

I'd forgotten all about this thread...pure gold and a ton of fun.
