You can do it, Ive used an HVLP gun before, they are great. Once miced the paint in that little cup goes further than you think it will. Mix each batch the same it will come out the same. The one I used was a middle of the road (not expensive, not the cheapest but erring on the cheaper side) and I was suprised how good it came out. Take your time....If you have to have someone that really knows paint give you the rundown on mixing...I understand outside temps can change things. Had to have someone help me dothe mixing and gove me a few quick tips on spraying. Do it.
I had 3 standard sprayguns and an airbrush. I used a HPLV once and figured I'd neven go back to a regular gun.
On mixing, the graduated, clear plastic mixing cups are great. They'll get you the same mix every time.
