Daniel,
I have a Devilbiss Finishline gravity feed HVLP Spray gun that works off a
conventional compressor. I have a 5 hp, 20 gal compressor and it barely
keeps up with the gun. The gun runs only at only 23 psi, but uses a *lot* of
air. I'm real happy with the gun, very little overspray and sprays primer
just fine. You're welcome to come down to my house and try it out.
Todd
