I recently picked up this compressor since I got it for 50% off.

http://cycloneas180-12.com/index.html

However, not until I got home did I notice I cannot adjust the psi.

looks like it operates around 43psi and max 57psi.

Most stuff i read online looks like people run between 15-25psi for model painting.

am I screwed? Do i need to take this thing back and get a different one? If so, any good recommendations?

Just buy a regulator no?

Better yet, take it back and get a compressor with a tank and put the regulator on that.

    Just pick up a regulator. One like this should work just fine.

    Thanks for the replies, but after doing some more research(which i should have done BEFORE hand) I swapped it out for a compressor with a built-in regulator and a tank. Much happier now.

    Probably the best thing you could have done.

    Tankless compressors are okay, but having a tank helps a lot.
