I have the same one you just bought, brother, and it works absolutely fine for me. I think you're going to be pleased with the purchase myself. Good luck with it, and keep us posted!!

Thanks for the info I was on the fence about it good to hear it is a good unit

Build yourself a removable wall around it with eggshell foam for sound dampening.

[@maxxcarver5502]

You're definitely ready with that egg shell Wall!

[@mlangfordcamper]

Considering a wall of 2 inch foam to box it in

I have one of the old black 19g HF compressors, works good, but sounds like a jackhammer when running!

[@mlangfordcamper]

Yes I did not want the extra noise I was afraid it might need a stand alone building to put it in

Will this work for automotive painting and sanding?

[@mlangfordcamper]

I would think you could make it work but you will have to wait for it to catch up the pressure, I would not paint anything larger than a golf cart. You can paint a car but it won't be the best as you need a constant pressure more than this one can do
