This may have been covered before, but I did not find it answered explicitly:
What size air compressor is good enough for doing a decent quality paint job on our cars and otherwise work with air tools? I don't have one now, but I am thinking of making the plunge and trying to paint my car at some point. I don't think I would really do anything bigger than a 914. Here's a more specific question: is a 60 gallon, 3HP, 11.5 CFM at 40 psi; 10.2 CFM at 90 psi good for this? There's one on CL not far from me that could be a decent deal and serve as my post-Christmas gift to myself. |

I am running a 3.7 hp Dewalt 60 gal from Tractor Supply. $550 on sale Veterans day ad. Great entry level and affordable. Handles paint just fine. Air tools fine too. The only one that struggles a bit is the 3" cutting wheel I use to cut my sheet metal. I just back off if it needs catching up in pressure. Needs 20 amp 240v circuit.
