Air compressor minumum.

So I tried rattle canning some interior parts and it looks bad. For some reason it kep spitting paint drops on the part and I want a nice finish.

So I am going to take the leap into trying to learn how to paint. I figured the biggest cost is the air compressor to get started.
I learned a lot from this thread http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/...ad.php?t=39997
but the air compressor question is still vauge to me. Memike mentioned 5 HP 60 Gallon.

So my question is, what is the bare minumum air compressor to paint with. Found this one at Home depot
http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ctId=100083906
But it is only 3.2 HP

Found this at Harbor Frieght
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=92504
But it is only 29 gallon. And I hear bad things about Harbor freight quality.

Plus both of these take 220 which means I need to run some new wire at the house.

Is there any good enough that won't break the bank and I won't have to run wire?

Thanks.
