Fortunately space wouldn’t be the big issue. I’d just have to get a new air compressor and buy all the equipment.

Used market is your friend for air compressors. I sometimes see 80+ gallon 7.5 HP Quincy, Champion and similar industrial compressors used for good deals. Some even come with stuff like intercoolers and low oil shutdown switches.

A true 5HP is probably bare minimum for doing modest automotive finishing, although a lot of guys get by with the consumer 60 gallon that are around 3.2 HP.

Finally got my DSP5 switch in the other week and boy is this truck a completely different beast now. Super impressed with this.
I used the Longhorn Fab cigarette lighter mount to mount the switch to my center console. Really like this mount although I did have to super glue it rather than it just clipping in place. No big deal.


Also added a USB-C charging port on the right side. Haven’t used that yet so I can’t say how well it works.

Also I finally got around to claying and sealing the whole truck. It’s been parked in the garage these past couple weeks though. The city tore up the road I take to work and it’s a dust storm. Decided to drive the Silverado for a bit anyway.

Oil changed and PPE magnetic drain plug installed. P/N: 114052001
264k I believe, about 7k on that interval.

@dantheman1540 talked me into the magnetic drain plug

I would have to change the title to (EXCITING) and I can't do that without a mod.
