Hi
I bought 1954 year car. It is great, but I cannot finish the repainting works because of the broken equipment. Who deals with the air compressor? can you please explain what motor is better to use? the first motor is burnt, so I have to postpone my repainting works..
please recommend any model and brand
 
check the horse power on your burnt motor, buy one that size or a little bigger, any major hardware store will have replacement motors, some times you can buy a new compressor at harbor freight pretty cheap
 
I took the motor off my compressor and took it to a motor repair shop. The only problem was a burnt contact. It was very inexpensive to repair.
 
I second dons advise check with a motor shop they can repair or may have a rebuilt depending on the age of your compressor it may be cheaper to replace it due to oil getting past the rings you should get at least a 3 hp depending on the power in your shop a 5 hp would be ideal I had a sears years ago 220 volts it was great now I have a 3 hp 110 model it works a lot harder to keep up with the sanders but does the job also make sure you have a water separator due to the heat the smaller compressors make they tent to get water in the tanks
