Air compressor help?

[Manfjourde]

I am selling my old compressor which is 4 gallon, 125 psi, 2.4 scfm @ 90 - I can get one of the 2 below for about the same price as I am selling the old one. For what I have done the 4 gallon has been fine. Would I be better off with more SCFM or 2 more gallons?

Craftsman 10 gallon, 135 psi, 2.4 scfm @ 90, 1 year warranty

Husky 8 gallon, 125 psi, 4 cfm @ 90, 2 year warranty

I've checked local used ads and nothing is around $100 (what I sold the old one for) so I think I will be sticking to one of these 2.
There is also the HF with 90 day warranty option which I think is essentially the same as Craftsman and Huksy

Thoughts?

I just bought the $199.99 version that came with three guns yesterday.

they are having a sale on them and this would outlast the above.

the roofing guy was just on our roof using the same compressor too lol.

stop at your local post office on the way and get a change of address booklet and it will have a 10% off your lowes purchases coupon in it too

$135 and then tax sell the gun if needed and you got yourself a sharp compressor for about $100

I wonder if I could use one of these for my airbrushes? I only need like 20-40 psi to spray with, but at least the compressor wouldn't have to run so much. The compressors for airbrushes are more expensive, and way smaller.

Yes, you can use any big compressor for airbrushing, but they are a bit sneaky, because you get used to the silence when you're airbrushing, but then always when you're concentrating on doing some tiny detail work the damn thing decides to go off! And it gets you by surprise every time, and scares the living crap out of ya! Believe me, I know! LOL!
