has a max pressure of 200 - 300 psi or so.

Should be printed on the storage tank.

You want to fill at 3000 psi. You can't get there with a shop compressor.

You will need a multi-stage compressor and they are very expensive.

Yes, there is oil in shop compressors air. Won't hurt your tank or gun but will lube it with stuff too thick to be good for a paintball gun. Just gum it up quicker.

Hope that helped.
