m...
im new to painting, but am looking to get started. I have been
looking at a few air compressors, but i really dont know what i am
suppose to be looking for in terms of; cfm, psi, tank size, or
horsepower. i found one with 4.4cfm@90 psi - 11.1cfm@40 psi- 125psi
max - 21 gallon tank - 4.5 hp. Is this going to be adequet for auto
painting, please help!


Depends on what kind of paint and gun you are going to use. You need to
match the gun to the compressor. Do some research. There are HVLP guns that
require their own unique compressors.
