Air Compressor for Small Car/Tractor Paint Jobs

[snpower]

I have a 1987 Land Cruiser that I was using a rattlecan to do some touch up work on; I am thinking of getting into the paint gun game.

This would be for very occasional use.. touch up work on that vehicle and whatever pops up on my tractor, etc. as well as other air tool jobs (sander, undercoating, etc.). I do not want to spent an arm and a leg and I was hoping for a recommendation. So far I have looked at the Harbor Freight Fortress series and used ones on Facebook Marketplace. Approximately 30 gallons seems to be the right size. The paint guns seem to need a lot of SCFM?

I think you might want a little more air compressor. The specs is see say you’ll need 12 cam at 45psi.

Since I bought a HVLP sprayer 20 years ago, my spray guns have sat on the shelf.
