You can add extra capacity by buying another air tank. I keep a couple
of 5-gallon tanks handy and use them away from the compressor as spare
air. To increase capacity, I'll just leave the coupler in when I fill
the tanks. I do this for blowing out the shop. That takes a lot of air
at the highest pressure. Check the Schucks/AutoZone/etc. ads for
tanks. They're on sale for $20 quite often. Keep one in your trunk for
flat tires when you're not spraying. They're handy. I ran my brad
nailer from one when I put up new soffit panels. It's good for 50+
shots (with a regulator.)

I think I'll probably give it a shot. Do you have any thoughts on the type
of conversion gun? Gravity feed vs. pressurized pot? What kind of
filter/regulator should I look for?

One of HF FRL goes for $20 on sale often, like TODAY! ($19.99)

I've heard that the Astra HVLP guns are nice. $90 on eBay. HF has one
for $50 but I don't know anyone who has one. I think if I were buying
a cheaper gun, I'd definitely go with a gravity type.

HF Tanks. For $66, you can double your compressor capacity. That's a
lot cheaper than buying a larger compressor if it's unnecessary.

Their 5-gal models go for $22.99.
