Ya, that's sort of what I was thinking. Guys on the autobody forum are claiming that you need an 80 gallon 5 hp compressor setup minimum. But I've been doing ok with just a 10 gallon.

Just bought a Snap On 20 gallon off of ebay. Guy, ya I'd like to have an 80 gallon, but I want to be able to transport it.
