I have a 60 gallon compressor that flows around 10 SCFM @ 90 psi. Before you buy tools or as you buy them, look to see what air delivery they need to keep running effieciently. I don't have a DA sander, but I do have a grinder that my compressor can keep up with no problem. It should definitely be good for a paint gun no problem, as the gun I will be using requires around 13 SCFM @ 30 psi. Compressors that flow that kind of air are often 240V, so be prepared for that too.

This was also a $400 compressor and was the scariest thing I've done in awhile unloading it off of the Home Depot rental truck.

I'm attempting to do all the body work and painting in my garage. It requires a lot of research before you decide to go ahead with it. Just outfitting the garage to this point cost a lot of money - to the tune of nearly $1000 for an air compressor, a 240V outlet, good sanding blocks, paint guns, grinder, respirators, body filler, etc. I haven't even purchased the main ingredient yet - paint, which I priced out at $500 on the extreme low end.
