buy the highest CFM that you can afford, with the highest motor duty cycle that you can afford.

really depends on the requirments of the paint gun as far as cfm required to spray paint thru a gun

Its gonna be tough. Your best bet is to find something used. Believe it or not spray guns are air hogs. You need a lot of scfm. You do not want the compressor running constantly while painting. The more the compressor runs the better chance you have for water in the lines.
