its the only HVLP that will spray at a low CFM because my compressor is only a 30 gallon

Here's to hoping I can get a semi decent job out of the harbor freight gun and compressor

Honestly I'm looking at the 21 gallon one since there's a coupon out now for it for $150 and I can sell my little one to recoup some of that. But I may go for the next one up depending on the price

And I think I might get 2 more of the spray guns, 1 for primer and 1 for clear

unfortunately, im not sure the 21 wont be enough CFM. Need at least 6-7CFM. And you only need one gun. The gun i got comes with 3 different tips. I generally only use the 1.3 tip for base and clear. Just my 2 cents

When I used to spray bumper covers, my 20 gal compressor was good. Granted, I was using a mini gun, but it filled the bill. Goes up to 150 psi.

That's good to know about the guns maybe I'll get 1 more to run primer through?
As far as the compressor I figured it probably be ok since I won't be painting the whole truck like you did just a good here? Trunk there? Bumpers and wheels but not everything at once

If you don't need the thick primer, why not just use the primer in the can? When I painted I had a gun for paint, and a gun for clear.
