Thoughts on this compressor

[69twotone]

Hi guys,

I have been looking for a while ( I need to buy one and get back to my project that has been sitting since May) and think that this compressor may be the best compressor for a guy who plans to rebuild his f-100 and maybe paint it. I will also do some soda/media blasting as well. Keep in mind when commenting that I may never do another car/truck project besides this one.

The reviews that I have seen are very favorable. I did see some reviews about the 80 gallon ones having motor issues with a voltage drop at start up. I plan to run it off of a 10 foot cord from my dryer outlet (any issues with this?)

For a one time project that should be pretty good for the money.
A two stage pump is better if your going to use it a lot.
Check the CFM rating for your tools and I think it should handle it.
what uses the most air is painting and using a D.A.
a sandblaster is just like opening the end of the hose so they can be hard to keep up with.
