For the fun of it check out the air requirements for an air sander (I think
they call them an air file? or something like that), a
sand blast cabinet, a 1/2" impact, or a HVLP sprayer and then decide which air
compressor to buy. You don't have these items you
say? Once you buy an air compressor you'll want them, and if you buy a
compressor that is too small you'll never end up with them,
because you won't want to by another air compressor just to be able to operate
one of these items.
