Mark;
A good place to get good quality air tools, used, is a pawn shop believe it
or not. In terms of new ones Chicago Pneumatic or Campbell Hausfeld offer
some decent affordable air tools, C.P more decent then C.H.
Don't bother with the off shore stuff or stuff that doesn't have a name
unless you only plan on occasional use. If you want some professional grade
stuff Blue Point would be one kind to get but buy them from a pawn shop or
yard sale so someone else takes the hit.
As for removing paint there is a process called media blasting that is
supposed to work well. Basically what they do is use a sandblaster but use
plastic pellets instead of sand. One advantage is that they can take paint
off of a fibreglass body without grinding the resin away like they would
with sand. Of course because of this capability it is less likely to do
damage to a metal body as well. This wouldn't be of much use to you since
you likely don't have a sandblaster and even if you did your compressor
wouldn't have enough umph to drive it
