Compressors are all about CFM (cubic feet per minute), and duty cycle. I'd figure out what tools you want to run with it (they usually list how many cfm they use), and use that to narrow your scope. Some manufacturers/stores have charts of which compressor can run what. Definitely look at putting in (at least) one moisture/ condensation trap to keep water through your tools to a minimum.

That would make too much sense!), and the blasting cabinet. I think most 15 gallon compressors can do what I need while remaining portable. The blasting cabinet and painting will be your two biggest draws, then. If you were thinking of doing anything on the classic Toyota (grinding/paint stripping/sanding) you'd want something that would run more air hungry tools. Last summer I cleaned and repainted the winch bumper on my Tacoma. I have a 60 gallon Porter Cable and felt I was waiting more than I was working. The sticker on the side recommends against automotive spray guns or sandblasters. I was using a 90* grinder with basically an industrial scotchbrite pad, and used spraycans (not an HVLP gun). Depending on how frequently you'd be using it for sandblasting or painting, you could probably get away with a smaller unit. I 'attached' mine with tie down straps to a cheap hand truck for easy portability.
