For paint spraying? if so spray guns that come with a compressor are not the best quality and you might be best buying separately. You can get away with a 2hp compressor if your just doing small stuff some of the guns in machine mart are quite good now.

I use two 3hp compressors and devilbiss guns. Worth getting a good filter. Once you’ve got a compressor you can get lots of air tools!

To be honest its just for general bits like taking suspension and wheels etc on/off. No spraying.
