Hi Helbus,

Can you recommend a compressor (type|brand) for painting. What are things to look for?

Thank you in advance- Wayne

If you are going to spray paint get at least a 12cfm preferably a 15cfm (this is the air flow rate)

Get at least a 60 litre tank.

Ingersoll Rand, McMillan, Compair are good brands. I personally would not buy one under $500 and expect it to last more than a couple of years.

I have a 15cfm triple piston Mcmillan and after 12 years still goes fine with no oil loss.
