Pretty sure Zeke said a long time ago get a compressor with a belt drive. I have had only two compressors since 1978. They just dont have problems. My Harbor Freight 30 gallon is almost 20 years old but similar today costs over $500.

Go 30 gallons for any type of body work and that's if you are doing small projects. Anything bigger, take up cigareete smoking, as that's what you will be doing while the tank fills back up.
