Just the same small one I use for my nail gun, nothing crazy. 3 gallons, 1/2HP, 100 psi. So anything that size or bigger should be sufficient. Edit: it is constantly running

That doesn’t mean they can’t be smoking hot however

Pneumatic drill(air ratchet) with a paint stirrer does the trick

Consider some non-sparking components for this. Prevents boom. Just sayin’

If the compressor is running the entire time of operation, you are going to burn it out quickly. Compressors should not be actively running more than 30% of the time of active use. 50% is pushing it, but still okay for a bit. I would strongly suggest upgrading your unit, unless you don’t mind replacing/rebuilding it.
