And again, is 2 1/2 or 3 ton plenty big for floor jacks and stands?
Just to make a fine point you must have missed. Most DA sanders will eat more than 6 cfm, so just the specs alone will tell you that a 6.4 (likely optimistic) compressor won't keep up. You'll be able to sand for a short time, wait for some more, over and over and over................Forget spraying very much HVLP. There are many more caveats in the previous posts that are pertinent.
The compressor you've linked is in fact an oiless, and as mentioned above noisy as all get out. The jack you've inquired is fine, and while a 3 ton jack stand will handle the weight, they're typlically pretty short, making working under the vehicle uncomfortable (not that laying on a cold floor will ever be other than unfortable, it's just a matter of degree). If you want decent working room get at least 6 ton stands, again, less for weight capacity, but rather for safer height capacity.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
