Randy, soon's you get a tire pumped to 100+ psi, let us know, OK?
Report in each time you reinflate it, please; we'll consider
sending flowers.

you dont need 100psi to blow off some dust..
you dont need to use a car tire...

you do need to use your head though..

all auto parts stores here have 5gal carry tanks, 125psi max for about $25
then you'd unscrew the tire inflator end and add a hose end spray nozzle
for five bucks or more.
They also have bigger ones 10gal maybe $35 15gal stand up on hand truck
wheels $49
even the one dollar bargain store here has a bunch of them.

Truck tires are customarily inflated to 100 psi . . .

WalMart and most auto parts shops sell 5 gallon steel tanks intended to hold
about 100 psi . . . you fill 'em up at the gas station, then when your car
tire needs air, you use the attached hose to fill it up . . . Probably cost
ya $25 or so.

Evidently paintball guns use a 3000 psi nitrogen filled tank, I'll bet your
acquaintance is using something like that. To refill, all ya need is a few
ounces of liquid nitrogen . . .

Do a search on eBay for AIR TANK and you'll see lots of possible options . .

dont bother. some people are here just to find 'flaws' in the ideas of
others and have no interest in facts.
