What's the rating on your gun and what are you painting?

I assume you're using an HVLP gun?

I used to run a Porter Cable single stage 60 gallon compressor. It painted a lot of cars (at least in the 100s of overall jobs and at least triple the amount of blend jobs) before it layed down on me the last time, which I have since rebuilt and have it hooked up as a spare. It kept up with my HVLP stuff pretty good, with my DAs and sandblast cabinet I had to stop and let it catch up quite a bit but it got the job done. Since then I have upgraded to an 80 gallon 2 stage Eaton and can't have enough good things to say about it. If you are just doing work for yourself the 60 is plenty for you imo but if you can swing the extra $$$ it is money well spent on a larger compressor.
