I am pretty close to having finished my home air setup. My compressor is a 5 hp, two stage, 60 gallon unit that puts out 15.8 cfm at 90 psi, and I've run 50' of 3/4" copper line from the compressor. It's hard to tell in the picture but the lines are tilted toward the right a few degrees so the water will either run into the two drop lines or back to the compressor where I can drain the water from the bottom of the tank. I still need to install the filter/regulator assembly and the lead-in line, but I drew the former into this photo for reference. I am going to run a water separator -> regulator -> motorguard m60 filter and then a 50 ft 3/8" hose with high flow fittings to a Devilbiss FLG-4 I will be using for primer, base, and clear.
My biggest question is whether or not this setup can cool the air enough to paint a whole car. I had seen guidelines that specified a minimum of 25' of tubing and even though I've run 50' I'd still like to hear some opinions.
