I'm Looking Into Doing Some plasti Dip On my Jeep And I'm Having A HardTime Finding Someone That Could Do It For Me. So I'm Looking At Compressors Because Then I Could Work On My Jeep Also. What Are You Running? My Budget Is About 350. If You Could List Psi, Horsepower, cfm... that Would Help a Lot. Not Looking For The Best, just Something That Works

Its heavy (178 lbs), but works well. My fauther has one and its been an amazing compressor for the money. If you want, down the road you can upgrade the pump or motor to get better cfm.

I am sure the Sears are on your comparison list

I have one of these and I find that it works well, good for the price. However they are very loud, obnoxiously loud.

Steer clear of any oil-less compressor. As said, they are noisy. Worse part is short lived, and rebuilds add up quickly.

I've got a Husky one that I love. 220v, big compressor (5' tall)with lots of CFM. I wish I could remember the model.

I live in a condo as well. Most compressors are going to be loud for condos, just make sure to check with your nabors to ensure they aren't being too bothered by it, or give them a heads up before you get to working and you'll be good.
As far as the above suggestions, I agree with stay away from oil free.
If you must it can get you by, and some will say they've had one for years. If you don't plan to use it for hours on end, or leaving it outside on your balcony etc. then it can be a great bang for your buck...
as i stated above
http://www.harborfreight.com/air-to...-cast-iron-vertical-air-compressor-68127.html is a great compressor. My dad has one and its one i plan to get in the next bit.
I currently have http://www.harborfreight.com/air-to...p-10-gallon-125-psi-air-compressor-67708.html and it has served me very well. again I’m in a condo as well. Its not the greatest for air tools, but has been great for the occasional Plasma cutting, sand blasting, powder coating i do on my balcony. just keep an eye on the pressure gauge and I haven’t had any issues.
the one that UT410 recommended "http://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...e&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default" looks to be a great deal. The reviews are great for it and northern tool has been a great company to work with for me. If you go with this one i suggest calling them to place the order as I’ve been able to get great deals over the phone that weren’t available online, and you could use the extra funds to get some tools as suggested.
If you'd like feel free to hit me up and i'd let you borrow my compressor.
