Hey guys, I bought a HVLP gun a while ago and now I'm looking for an air compressor, I want to use the compressor to paint from time to time and also to use some other tools to, but it is to use only on weekends, not all the time for my projects. the gun i bought has this specifications:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Required Air Pressure: 43 psi maximum
Required Compressor: 1.5 to 2 hp; 1 hp with a big tank
Air consumption: typical 1.6 to 4 cfm
