We're looking to upgrade our garage to tackle a few new things. Mainly autobody. Our Budget is around $1000 and we need a compressor that will run both a HVLP Spray Gun and a Pressure Pot Style Sandblaster. We won't be using both of these at the same time, but I'd like to get a big enough compressor that will handle sanders, sprayers, grinders, etc. without having to recharge every 15 minutes.
We've been looking around, but right now we are pretty set on using an Ingersoll Rand 60 or 80 Gallon Compressor from Tractor Supply. Anyone have any experience with them? or can recommend other brands to check out??
60 Gallon: 18.1 CFM @ 90psi. $850.

80 Gallon: 15.8 CFM @ 90psi $999

Which one do you think is better for sandblasting/sanding/painting?? I know higher CFM is always better, but why does the 60 gallon version have higher CFM?? I haven't been able to get a clear answer to that yet. I would rather have too much compressor than wishing I would have spent the extra $200 for a better unit.
Any help would be awesome! I've heard great things about Eaton Compressor's as well, but I cant seem to find a place locally that sells them.
