One other thing, the pros will tell you to go with good quality compressors. I am a beginner/intermediate but know that there is alot of " junk " compressors out there.
So I don't need a LOT of compressor if I'm planning on repainting my car a panel at a time. I'll still get the most compressor I can afford, but I just don't want to get screwed right in the middle of a job...
