Agree all.
The compressor does more work in the shop than any one of us.

Regardless of what you end up with, for painting you will have moisture, oil vapor, and various other crud in your air that will fish-eye your paint when you get that far.

I strongly suggest a good quality filter that will not break the bank....just before your paint gun

We use the CamAir QC3. It has a moisture indicator, the cartridges are replaceable, and it removes oil vapor also. It is an entry level rig, but does what it is supposed to do. We can paint about 3 cars before changing the cartridge. We only run paint air thru it, as the air tools do not require filtration like this

TCP Global prolly has them
