[AMC-list] Compressor size for touch-up paint?

[Bruce Griffis <bruce.griffis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I did the aerosol squirt, but am thinking of actually trying to
do a decent job. What would be the compressor size, horsepower rating,
CFM I would need if I wanted to touch up my paint? Are the touch-up
guns a good thing? I want to keep as much of my original paint as
possible, and only hit scratches - but I might want to paint my popup
camper to match at some point.

I've been checking out used 220 Volt Sears compressors with 20 gallon
tanks. Is the tank size too small? Or just right if I work in
sections? Would a 120Volt system work? (I think my only 220 volt run
is to the washer and dryer - I think I've only got 110 in the garage).
If I'm surfing Craigslist, what size and rating should I look for?

If you were to Northern Tool it - what gun / compressor would you get?
Or would you go for a new gun and a used compressor to keep the bucks
down?
