Ask your wife for an HVLP turbine setup. I wouldn't get one from Harbor friegt either. The turbine setups are nice they don't use
oil or make water so they don't need a filter. They also have systems with postive pressure ventilation for you so also no filters. They do the best paint jobs. As far as a compressor get an american made unit with an american made motor. Saylor Beal comes to mind probably b/c I have one. They are built extremely well. You want a cast iron pump and the ability to make 19 CFM at 90PSI. That way you can get a nice sandblast cabinet. Which is a whole different discussion. There really is a lot to a compressor purchase. I bought a small unit years ago 5hp with a 60 gallon tank and it was never big enough. My large unit now has it's own shed attached to the garage outside so I don't have to liten to it pump. Email me if you have other questions
