What Size is it?
I've got a Husky air compressor that has the compressor on the top. The tank is around 4 feet high. Any one know the capacity? The info stickers are rubbed off. Would it support a spray gun? I don't use the air tools that long for it to keep chasing itself and running a lot.

it should be fine, our shop uses painters that work out of a small trailer, they run a much smaller compressor....limit your paint time and always start with a full tank

Any idea what the capacity of the tank may be? It doesn't take very long to fill up from empty.

If it's @ 4' it should be @ 50 gallon size. Big plenty to do what you wanting to do. Be sure to drain it every other day.

It says 26 gal on the website. I put an inline filter on the outlet that automatically drains itself when the pressure goes down.

Don't even have a paint gun yet but it's a thought. They're not that expensive as an air brush. I'll remember that when I paint.
