Thinking about getting this dual HVLP sprayer kit below; been using a pancake compressor with a detail gun but that setup throws paint everywhere and I have to start and stop constantly. With these HVLP sprayers, I know they require a lot of air, so looking at the CFM requirements of the main gun - 6.5@30 and then reviewing a bevy of 30 gallon compressors, it seems they can't quite meet this demand. Does that mean I'd have to go to a 60 gallon setup, or could I get by with a 30 gallon setup? Anyone have any thoughts or have a 30 gallon compressor/HVLP setup that can chime in? I don't have any other needs of this compressor, other than painting cabs, with a maximum of about 3 cabs/year.

Wow, no one has a 30 gallon compressor/HVLP setup? What's everyone using to paint their cabs with?

Seems to me you could paint one side of a cabinet before needing to stop to let the compressor catch up? Maybe not for the thicker primer but for thinned lacquer I would think with a lower CFM HVLP sprayer like the one I linked to through Eastwood this would work. I just can't justify a 100 gallon setup in my garage, since I only do one or two repaints a year, and wouldn't be using it for much else.

Wrong... it's an assumption. I'm not going to buy anything based on that. looking for some real advise to confirm or deny from folks painting pins, not painting cars or trucks.

Thanks for the info; That's one of the lower-based CFM sprayers I've seen; another one close to that is the Concours Pro touch up gun offered by Eastwood; most of the HVLP guns are 6.0 and up with the ability to spray larger spray patterns. Seems like 9" maximum on your gun would be fie for cabs/playfields.
