A lot of good advice.... Oiled, 2 Stage, with large storage... All good ideas. Given the area you live in, one thing completely left out was a good filter (for the extra water in the air) and depending on how much you will use tools a good inline oiler. You will want to have a "clean" air line to run painting items and if you find a small dryer worth the money for painting. I have a 6 HP, 60 gal and other than sand blasting does anything I want from Plasma Cutting to air tools and others... most newer LPHV paint guns are working on less pressure and volume. Good advice to go large and not waste your money.
