Question 1 -- people do it both ways, I touch up the bold heads after assembly. If you can partially assemble and get everything covered, do it that way, but if you have to get the gun at wierd angles, it is best to do it disassembled. Question 2 -- If you are going to use a supplied air system, use acrylic enamel with hardener, you could use acrylic urethane, but on a plow?? Question 3 -- 40 degrees is too cold, not impossible, but the paint won't flow out properly. Best to get to 65-70 and keep building warm afterward -- see Butch's response to a similar post below. Question 4. For occasional painting I don't think you need a turbine system, but, I have never used one. Fifth question -- Compressors and guns vary a lot, so this one is hard to answer. I have a 60 gal that will put out 15 cfm at 100 psi, more than I need, but I use it for other things. You need maybe 40-50 psi at the gun for HVLP and maybe 10 cfm at that pressure will be adequate for nearly any gun, less than that for most, someone correct me. I don't know anything about the Citation.
