You wont be happy with that compressor with a HVLP gun...it takes more CFM than that compressor will supply. You will have to keep stopping and waiting for the compressor, cause when it starts up, and you keep spraying, it wont fill the tank as fast as the air you're using. You can run a conventional higher pressure gun with it, but you'll have a ton more overspray. Dont go by the HP rating, it's not accurate at all...always go by the CFM rating, and get the largest you can afford...same for the tank size. My gun is an Accu-spray, and it wasnt cheap, but I use it several times a week, and clean it every time I use it...really clean it. It has been 8 years so far, and still spraying fine. Devilbiss is good, so is Sata...There are others.
