well i started looking for a air compressor. I dont want to waste more than $300. need it to take off lug nutsand other shit. i also want to be able to paint with it. im looking to see what you guys recommend,what type and brand. thanks for the help.
 
thats a great set. anything devilbiss, binks, or iwata is well worth it. even the harbor freight gun lays down paint very well. i used that for all sorts of industrial painting this summer.
 
I have a pretty old craftsman compressor that my dad gave me. Check out CL

pretty much like mine, only red

If I were to buy one, I would get an upright to save space
 
No sir, so I can't attest to whether or would be sufficient, but I'd like to assume it would be for small stuff.
 
Mine also is quite old and has a leak, but when working with air tools it has to catch up on simple shit. I also probably have it regulated wrong. I never pay attention to what it is reduced to, and the gauge no longer works. It was busted in the move. I'll use it until it craps out on me. We've used it on everything I have done so far. Headers, drop, and suspension parts replacement.
 
I've got a 30 gallon Dewalt and just using air tools it has to catch up quite a bit. I would never want to try to paint with it.
 
flow rate isn't as good as the one cheeny posted, but damn near the same other than that, and half the price

I found these but dont know which to take. Help me out guys . I little one comes with the gun/ rachet set. Will these work to do small paint jobs?
 
low HP and low cfm, large tank, just means it will have to drags its ass to keep up. I would hold off
