My compressor is 6.5cfm @ 40psi, 5.5cfm @90psi.

So at 10 psi, it's probably a little higher. Is this at least borderline?

Also it seems to be hard to control the pressure way down by 10psi, or at least the guages suck. I had trouble getting the pressure right when doing ceiling knockdown texture, which is low pressure.

Should I add on a better pressure regulator?


Many (most?) HVLP spray guns meant for a compressor take more than 10 psi "at the gun". The gun then further reduces it to 10 psi or less at the tip. I just looked at a Binks SV100 and it requires 10 cfm at 27 psi ...

Look on the bright side -- you'd rather have a turbine-fed spray gun anyway!
