Specific question about paint sprayers
So I had a quick question about using a professional paint sprayer to DIY spray my own front lip replica piece. My buddy has an "HPLV" (hi pressure low volume) paint sprayer that he uses for commercial painting, and I was wondering if I could use that style of paint sprayer to paint my own front lip, and trunk and roof spoiler?? Or will I need a HVLP gun?
here is the link to the sprayer I have access to:
http://www.titantool.com/product/mul...-air-assisted/
if so, then where would I go about getting the correct factory match paint/activator to put into the Sprayer? Also, what else would I need? Basically, can someone walk me through the process??
thank you!

I got paint for my BMW from this place. The color matched perfect; especially it was Black with Metatic flakes.

thank you! so my buddy stated that his hvlp gun is uses a pump, and not a compressor, and sprays out at no lower than 500 psi. Does that sound correct? I would think a hvlp is low pressure? 500 psi sounds like a ton.

Yea that's for painting houses and stuff not so much auto body or what your looking to do you need a compressor that has a high cfm, moister seperator and hvlp gun. It's a lot less complicated than you think I paint for a living and paint often at home. And my home setup is very very basic.
