The easy way to see if your house has 220v is to look at your circuit breaker panel. If you find 2 circuits with the switches tied together you have 220v. Hopefully it will be labelled so you will know where to look.
For home use I bought a 110v contractors air compressor, the wheeled kind with the 2 tanks building contractors use. It supplies all the air I need to air tires, ratchets etc. While it would not paint a car.....well I won't be painting a car in my garage anyway. I like that I can wheel it into my truck and take it where it is needed, no special voltage required.

I've got a 33 gallon/ 2hp Craftsman that's been great.... until I got a cordless impact wrench. Now all I use the compressor for is putting air in tires. The compressor was never big enough to spray paint, but it runs impact tools great and has plenty of pressure to dry off the car (that job has gone to the leaf blower).
