The powder coat guns only need 5-7 lbs. of pressure, but the glass bead
cabinet you'll need will use a lot of air. I always tell people to buy the
biggest compressor you can afford (or find room for) because after you get
one you'll find all kinds of things to use it for. I can't imagine what I
did before I bought a die grinder, those 30 year old bolts don't stand a
chance. I don't even know where my hack-saw is anymore. I think the local
Home-Defect has 80 gal. 2 stage, single phase 240v. I-R compressors for
$800.
