You dont want just the best, you need the cheapest that can provide the air whatever for gun youre using needs. I burned up a campbell hausfield 5 gallon 1/2 hp compressor after the 2nd coat on my GLH. So for the gun you have, look at it's minimum recommended psi and find the cheapest one that can provide that. Also, make sure you use a dessicant dryer or an inline dryer when you shoot, I highly recommend it...

if you just want to paint one car, maybe just rent one at a hardwood store that does that.

we have a store called "big r" and they rent out anything from saws to compressors to tractors.
