Hi Charles, It's too cold to paint now, I'm just
kidding. To answer your question those HVLP guns consume about 7 to 9 CFM. My compressor is 32 years old and it's a 3hp and it has a hard time
keeping up with enough air. Northern has a spray gun kit with 2 guns and a regulator. The item number is 156414-1502 for $119.00.

I make out with my compressor that I have by not been filling the paint cup full. My arms get tired anymore, so I take a break to refill the cup and that gives the compressor a chance to build up pressure. The cup on the large gun holds 1000cc that is just over a quart
and it gets heavy until you use up the paint. These guns cut way down on the overspray, so they save money by not wasting paint. Paint is very expensive. Hal

If I were you and you are planning on to do a lot of painting I would ask a paint store as to what size compressor you'll be requiring. You need to maintain 35 to 45 lbs of pressure at the regulator on the gun.
