Allan, if I were you I would look for any compressor that can achieve 100 psi and has a regulator, and water/moisture trap on it, like I said they sell lots of them at any home improvement store ( Lowes, Home Depot, Menards ) the only downfall is they are noisy. There are others that are silent, but the cost is high ($300.00 plus) For what you have described you wish to paint requires 20 - 40 psi, but as most of here on the site, one interest has lead to another and before long you will want to dabble with T-Shirts, cars, bikes, and many other mediums, so one of the the compressors I have mentioned earlier will work for all of those mediums. Once the AB bug has bitten, it is hard to shake it off!!!
