Need a New Air Compressor...Recommendations?

What is your budget? You will probably need something that puts out over 7cfm for the paint gun. I am not sur about the impact gun, but the brad nailer willl require significantly less.

not much i would recommend from Harbor Freight but their oiled compressors are top notch.

OP, whatever you do stay away from the HF oiless units. They are shite, I picked up a small one (on sale and open box$35.00) for filling tires and blowing out filters. It would take 5 minutes to fill a 3 gallon tank and was loud as hell. 2 weeks ago someone got into my toolbox and that was the only thing they stole. Didn't even take the 25' pvc hose coiled up on top of it.

correct. They are shite. As are pretty much every other oiless units as well.

i have that one at my office and use it commercially. It's a great little unit.

BTW,OP. It comes with a bottle of oil in the box. Don't buy another bottle of oil unless you just want to have more on hand. These units don't really use any oil at all from what i've experienced so far.

To run a HVLP gun, you want the biggest tank and highest cfm you feel like buying.
