Look at the CFM requirement of your cabinet and buy accordingly. A blasting cabinet will have about the highest CFM requirement of any tool you'll likely own.
I bought a used cabinet. The gun is exactly like
this one. It uses (15 CFM @ 80 PSI) and two 13/64in. (7 CFM @ 80 PSI) nozzles.
This is
the cabinet. As you can see, the cabinet is not very large, but I got it for CHEAP including a new bag of extra media. It has already paid for itself.
I just might try rolling on epoxy primer. I will research the process involved and save the painting issue for later.
I have a friend who owns an HVLP unit that he describes as not needing a compressor. I know nothing more, but he has offered to let me borrow it. Does that sound like something that is made for painting cars?
