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. |

The Eastwood scroll looks interesting to me, but the reviews are either good or bad. I'm going back and forth on whether to move mine or get a new one, whenever I can move.
I've got a 5hp two stage Champion with an 80 gallon tank that I got new in 1995, and it still works great, but it's noisy as a locomotive. I don't have any neighbors at the old shop, but the new one I will, so I'm exploring options, which is why I got excited about the Eastwood scroll, but it's pretty much 100% MIC which kind of scares me. My old Champion had a 5 year warranty |
