Puma Air Compressors any good?
I'm looking at this unit. Anyone with first hand knowledge.
http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com/...ssor/p592.html
It has a USA made motor but a twainesse pump. $989 to the door
This is my first choice, NOT A PUMA, all USA made
but of course more money $1435 to the door

Sorta comparing an Audi to a Ford
Thanks for looking.

Depending on your CFM requirements...that is what I would be looking at. I like the second one.

Since you are considering painting the car yourself, you will be saving quite a bit of money. I would recommend not skimping on the compressor, filters, desiccant and gun. I am close to painting my '64 and bought a high end Sata gun. I am not recommending any gun, by the way, just that my choice was to use higher end equipment due to offsetting the labor costs. My $.02. Good luck.

Dave,good to hear from you. I'm finding it hard to fault the 3.5 hp Quincy that provides almost 15cfm at 40psi. I'm limited in the space I have to put it.

Say hello to my littl' friend
15 cfm @ 40 psi will work for me along with less than 30 amps at start up. Big step up from my 1hp and 12 gallon tank that came thru for quite a few + paint jobs.
