    OP
    Quoted from Dono:

    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.

    I am using a 60 gallon 240v here, I had a 30 for many years but it was always playing catch up, or I was always waiting for it!
