I just realized that the cheap HF hvlp gun (the purple one) only uses 6 cfm at 40 psi. There are plenty of youtube videos on it. I believe the current price is around $13.00. One of the complaints is that it isn't really serviceable. But at $13, who cares. What made me bring this up was a video I watched last night on YouTube. The channel was "Uncle Tony's Garage" and he used the cheap HF purple gun with, I believe, a 30 gallon compressor. He actually ended up painting 2 cars in two different episodes.
UTG is now my favorite YouTube channel. It's mostly Mopar related, but interestingly enough, he has a VERY interesting history with early efi fox mustangs. He put out a 1.5 hour episode talking about his involvement in racing his new stock 87LX, along with a couple buddies and their efi foxes back in 87-88.
