Hey everyone, I’m looking for some honest advice on a new compressor. For the last 20 years I have been using a sanborn 60 gal single stage 5hp single phase 220. It has fallen short for what I need. I have been looking at ingersol rand, Bel air, quincy and others 2 stage,5hp, 220 ,1phase with 60-80 gal tank. So my question is will the 2 stage 5 hp be enough to easily keep up with painting? Most are rated at around 13-16 cfm @ 90lbs. If I go with a 7.5 hp 2 stage it will for sure keep up but the price jumps from about $1100 to $2100 is it worth it?
