- I bought a Campbell Housfeld 3/4 hp compressor with a 10 gallon tank for $
- 150.00 at a local discount hardware store. It comes with a regulator, but
- to really get it right, you should buy one that will regulate accurately at
- lower pressure levels. I also got an in-line water seperator, but have
- NEVER seen a drop of water in it. So, for about $170.00, you can get a good
- compressor and paint in peace!
