I gotta agree with streetsquid. I was advised to get Iwata Eclipse also. I have over the years used several others, and the Iwata hands down is the best. Got it for about $100 last summer, thanks to a friend/customer in CA. Compressors, can't help you there besides advise one with a tank. I use the heavy duty one we have here for work on the house, and did the same in USA. You will want a good pressure regulator and water seperator, and don't forget to drain the air tank of water periodically. You can test drive compressors for the quietest. Also hit yard sales. It is amazing what shows up there. Friend of mine in Jax got an almost new Sears top of the line one for 30 bucks at a garage sale.
