I just picked up a 60 gal. 3.7 hp Porter Cable compressor from Tractor Supply. Black Friday special $399.95. Assembled in USA from global components. Cast iron pump and nearly identical spec wise when compared to Husky and the rest of the 60 gal compressor out there but $80-$100 less money.

Is it just tires and spraying in one booth or do you intend to feed multiple bays and want to be able to do both bays at the same time for some reason?
HPLV or typical? Calculated the CFM for your tools?
Have 240v access?
Do you have a walk-in or garage closet if it ends up being loud?
Any preference to single or two stage compressors? Any HP rating?
That kinda stuff. No, don't need an answer for all of that. Mainly, do you have 240V and need more than 16 CFM and do you care how loud it is?
