Default Small compressor : DeWalt or Ingersoll

Hi gang,

I want to get a small compressor to run nail guns, blow off equipment, and
possibly use a HVLP to spray some finishes. I've been looking at the
smaller 4g units, especially the DeWalt D55155 and the Ingersoll Rand Twin
stack DD2T2. Anyone have any experiece with either of these? Both seem

to
be pretty heavy duty (oiled, cast iron tanks, etc) as far as ~$300
compressors go. Any ideas either way?

Either unit is probably a pretty good unit. BUT the $65 unit at Harbor
Freight will power your nail gun just fine. If you want to spray paint
however you need to look at the requirements of the accessory that you plan
to buy. If the spray gun needs "X" amount of volume and your compressor
cannot supply that need, the compressor can have diamonds on it and it still
will not work well.
