My current compressor is a DeWalt 15 gal, 200 psi, 5.4cfm @ 90. I needed a portable compressor, so it fit the bill. I have used it to spray the floor pans, and fenders which it does just fine to keep up. But, I'm concerned about doing an overall paint job with it, so I'm looking to upgrade.
I have been browsing CL for used ones. My wish list is 2 stage, and preferably upright. Is there a minimum tank size I should be looking for? I would like to go used because if I move in the near future, I can likely sell it for what I'm into it.
Would my current compressor with small tank get the job done? It is choked down with a 1/4" regulator and fittings. I could upgrade to bigger 3/8" fittings and a desicant drier?
Would this get the job done with good results?
