Well after a year of nagging her my wife said OK to a compressor.  This will
be a once in a lifetime buy.  I am not able to buy one now and then if a few
years think about getting a better one.  So this is it!  I love Sears stuff
so I have been looking there.  I am interested in one with the tank upright
over one that lays down.  Storage space in the garage is the major reason.
I am also looking for something over 20 gal, must be 120V.  I am starting to
understand the SCFM ratings.  The one I am looking at is 6 HP 30 Gal 8.6/6.4
SCFM at 40/90PSI - 125 max PSI.  It is on sale for $259.88.  I am interested
in sandblasting and HVLP painting.

What did it was I have now gathered together 11 rims and want to get the
best 5 sandblasted (quoted at $250.00) and painted (quoted at $125.00).
That shook her up as the first items to get painted outside of a spray can.
Originally I painted a quick coat of Rustoloum on the truck for cover for
$45.00.  Now I get to do it all - with a new compressor.

What do you think - is this compressor a good deal?

Thanks,
NJJim
