Paint stripping without a D/A

I have a 60 gallon upright 220V twin piston compressor now, but way back when i was working out of a T hangar on the local airport i had only 1 20 amp breaker running into the shop i made out of the hangar space. T hangar was great. A lot of storage space for $95 a month, on a secure location. I split that with a buddy of mine. Anyways, with a single 20 amp breaker i had to get creative. I had a crapsman 25 gallon twin piston compressor, and a china fright 110v compressor motor. I would run the compressor on 1 lung so it wouldent pop the breaker. Wait for it to charge up the tank fully, then hook up my DA and run it down. Took forever to strip and epoxy prime a 60 chevy i was restoring. So i worked 1 panel at a time, and primered it. Winter time was worse. Shut off the shop lights, and use a bernsomatic torch to warm up the compressor pump then turn it on, otherwise it labor too long and would pop the breaker. Had to get ingenious with shop lights as well. A power strip zip tied onto the ceiling beam running to the single light socket, and 6 short extension cords to six 4 foot flourescent shop fixtures with some light duty chains to hold em up worked well. Yeah having a compressor without enough volume sucks. I may try an electric DA just because it will give my 60 a break, plus the racket it makes when it runs.
