IMO the larger the tank the better. Min. size 15 gallons. I can just turn mine on and let it fill up. I then shut the thing off and can paint 30 or 40 plugs until the air is low and then turn on to fill up again. I very rarely have to turn on more than once per session. The little compressors work but drain down quick and then you have to listen to them. Larger tanks are a little more expensive but worth it to me. As mentioned above I would also go with an oil filled one too. Longer life. Drain from bottom when done too to avoid rusting out your tank.
