Been a while since I last posted, but after looking sadly at the Herald in tha garage the other day. think its about time I get the old girl painted. I have played about with a HVLP setup a while back but was little more than the type of thing they use to spray fake tan etc. Seemed to put primer on okay (lots of overspray) but cant see it being any good for top coat.
I have ben doing a bit of research and there is a new type of spray gun called a LVLP (low vol low pressure). This can use a compressor with a lot lower CFM rating. I wonder if anyone has tried any of these:

I am wondering if it will run off a 50 litre compressor. In theory it should but wondered what others think etc.
I have my eye on a few compressors on Ebay second hand but if going for something new, may splash out on something like:
Cheap 50l one...

Will be spraying cellulose. I have seen the Apollo turbine spray units but would like a compressor as can use for other things,
