In the market for an air compressor

[AJLChase]

Well, I've finally saved upwards of $1k to spend on an air compressor. My goals are to be able to use it for painting and everything in between. I'm a novice DIY type of guy, and really wanna learn to do it all myself. I won't be opening up a shop any time soon so, I don't need to go industrial. What would be some good options of air compressors to look at for that price range? I know it's all about what type of tools you'll be running with them, but Id rather buy the compressor and shop for tools to fit it. Also, I can't honestly say if I'm running on 220v or 230v in the garage. Any help would be appreciated!!!
