Bayou Titan has hooked you up with some good info.

I don't want to do a primer on air compression, but mostly the load drives the supply. You would need to know what tools you need or want to use, see how much CFM (cubic feet/ min) and find a supply to meet the need. The other big issue can be storage. The bigger the tank, the more air volume under pressue you have to use. I have a little 5 gal tank, with a 2 hp comp. It works great with my brad nailer, but is challanged by my 1/2" drive impact. The unit he (Bayou Titan) spec'd out would drive the impact with no trouble. You will have enough air with this unit to drive a full size paint gun, so an air brush would be no sweat.

Don't forget to drain you tank after each use or you could mess up your tools or paint work.

Happy shopping,
John
