This will most likely be a one time deal, so I don't want to spend too much ($300 or so total?) Any suggestions? I was thinking the HF $150 compressor (but low scfm - Too low?). Also, I was thinking flat black initially. Then maybe a color later, if i decide to go crazy on the bodywork.

Any help is appreciated.

My High Volume Low Pressure gun uses 8 psi at 50 cfm......

That's pressure at the air cap. The pressure will need to be higher at the gun inlet with the trigger pulled.

That is the output of the compressor. I can tune the volume down at the gun. The pressure is constant. A turbine compressor is like a vacuum cleaner running in reverse.
The hose is 3/4 in ID.

Sorry, thought you were talking about a regular HVLP gun.
