Grizzly PRO G0957 - 80-Gallon 5 HP Extreme Series Air Compressor​

Also looking at Ingersoll Rand 5 HP 80 gal. Reciprocating Air Compressor. Any feed back would be great. Also thought about this one

Grizzly PRO G0955 - 60-Gallon 5 HP Extreme Series Air Compressor Looking to paint my car. thanks​

 
Hard to compare sinct the Grizzly is a single stage 3 cylinder and the IR is a 2 stage. I think the paint gun will determine to a point on the compressor.
 
Make sure to break it in similar to a new engine.
Put a load on it and run it for 1/2 hour.
Otherwise you might push a lot of oil into your air all the time.

Grizzly The 80-gallon vertical air tank has been ASME certified to meet safety and quality standards. The two-stage cast-iron oil-lubricated pump operates at high pressure providing increased volume when you need it.
 
The Grizzly or the Bel-Air are both great compressors. Shipping will be brutal. I would go with the one Mike posted for now to get started, it will run a paint gun just fine. When its time to upgrade you will get your $300 back.

Bel Air is free shipping
 
I get worried buying someones stuff I dont know. Its a crap shoot.
 
Besides quality and workmanship, the easiest way to compare regardless of single stage/double stage/1/2/3 cylinder is-

CFM rating at 90 psi.

Apples to apples if you use that.
 
I look at it this way, from a service standpoint. Someday the pimp may fail. If you buy a off brand can you buy a reed valve set for it? I can for Ingersoll, Quincy, Curtis, and the like. Even a good chance finding parts for 50 year old compressors.
