I appreciate all the comments. I think i need to emphasize that i do not have an active shop. I perhaps will never paint car. Maybe something small no bigger than a door panel size or metal trunk like a Kerri Keen trunk. I care not if takes longer to do. I simply cannot justify paying for comercial quality price. Is there a a compressor that could be used as I've indicated that could be purchased for not more than about 500.00 or am I just delusional. I normally use compressor for basic shop tasks such as solvent parts cleaning, tires, small air powered impact tools, etc. Just would like to be able to paint with my inexpensive wagner gravity feed sprayer if need arises. You think iIcan find something?
