What are you running? Just small spray guns? Full size guns? How many at once? Any sandblasting?

Just myself doing this hydro dipping. Got my gun's from K2. Not doing any sand blasting . Just kinda as a hobby on the side.

Add up the CFM for all the equipment and size your compressor for that. Then assume you are going to get twice as big as you are now, and then just go get a 60 gallon compressor

For full sized spray guns, I wouldn't go smaller than a Single Stage 60-Gallon with proper filtration/moisture dryers. I have one at home, and wouldn't go smaller if using even a single gun. When I was painting some trim and doors, it never stopped running while pulling the trigger. Just barely kept up. Ideally, look for a 2-Stage 80 Gallon, and proper filters and desiccant dryers.

Yep. Our 60 gallon was kicking on regularly with only one person using it. I would not go any smaller.
