But yeah sounds like the one you have is good enough then. Best thing I can tell you is practice laying down some paint on something you don't really care about and see how it is throwing down and if it's not good enough then get a new one.
It would be great to have a 1300 dollar 80 gal compressor but, in now way is it practicle for anyone who is just a hobbiest, it's none the less overkill, the most you really need is a 35- 60 ( maby ) gallon for a hobbiest. The comp he has is adaquate for painting and most anything else and the fact is, it's there, he can use it. That 1300 80 gal will service more than 1 air tool, it would supply an air system, so a few people could gain service of the compressor anywhere theres a air hose in a shop. My uncle paints cars nice and he used a 10 gallon homade compressor when he painted his old van and it turned out nice. He also says " The gun cannnot be any better than the painter using it ". I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone:)
