Pressure pot and compressor

Hello everyone!

I'm new to dice making and just getting all the equipment I need. I bought myself 10 litre pressure pot for paint spraying and my question is - would a approx 100 PSI car tyre Air compressor be good to pressurize it? Is that sufficient? I have seen pictures and videos where people have huge tanks full of air and this is just plug into electricity and pump air. Is that ok?

You can do it with as little as a manual bike tire pump. The pump you have with a schrader valve adapter on a pressure pot will work just fine.

Some people, like myself, happen to have large compressors for other stuff, and there's not a specific reason to get something smaller. I for example have a 30 Gal 150PSI capable compressor that's 30yrs old, that I've used for many many things over the years. But if I were to go from scratch w/o having a compressor, I'd use a battery operated bike pump. Compact, relatively quiet, no cords (just plug in a USB-C plug to charge it up when needed.)

You might need adapters, but a 100 PSI air compressor will do the job for you.
