Default Air Compressor

I'm looking to buy an air compressor but I don't know which one to get.
I'm looking to work on my car when the snow is gone.

what horsepower or PSI of the air compressor tank I should get?
will 7hp be good enough?

any help to the new guy here..!!

look into the concourse paint gun (http://www.eastwood.com/paint-equipm...metal-cup.html) it is built for the DIY guys with smaller air requirements than most guns.

Depend how much work you're doing on the your car. I did go buy an Air compressor around $599 to $620. I'm sure that will be enough to do the work. I did make sure it have 2 stage belt. I don't think those are noisy. Make sure the your outlet have the power to power it up.
