depends on whatever air gun you get you need one with enough cfm to supply that then a big enough tank to keep it running!

Pretty much anything below 3hp will run out of puff when using most air tools, or decent sprayguns.

Machinemart sell a decent Clarkes one, belt driven 3hp 150 litre tank 14cfm 150psi, £385, pretty sure you go over 3hp and you need a 3 phase electric supply.
I've got one works a treat for my impact gun, air ratchet and underseal sprayer, not tried spray gun yet, but it'll cope no problem.
