So I would like to take on the challenge of painting my yukon on my own only problem is I need an air compressor suitable for a paint gun. I have looked around and have found these guns at Eastwood for a very good price http://www.eastwood.com/devilbiss-auto-paint-and-priming-system.html the guns need 13cfm @ 30psi I have no idea how to calculate cfm and such also I have found this compressor at our local tractor supply that I think may be able to handle the job someone please correct me if I'm wrong http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/porter-cable-stationary-belt-drive-air-compressor-60-gal it seems to be a good deal and I think it will match up very well. Plus I could use this compressor for my air tools as of now I have only one central pneumatic 10 gallons maybe only good for small work. Will what I have found work and will the guns be good to learn on? There a good brand from what I have heard but they aren't the pro line but I'm no pro.

Good. As far as running a lot it would be for an occasional paint job so it should kill the motor to do that from time to time. As far as wiring to 240 yes I'm able to wire it in my breaker box is actually in my garage so it's just a matter of easy installation

That's why I was thinking of the devilbiss that I put a link to in the op think it would be good?
