Default Wondering if my compressor is sufficient to shoot lacquer withan HVLP gun

Thank you.. I think I'll try without pots first though and see if that
works.. I just want to be able to spray some future woodworking projects
mostly. Nothing big.. I got spoiled using an HVLP gun in a couple
cabinet making classes. Hard to go back to the old style after that.. -Jim

I picked up a 4 year old Campbell Hausfield 60 gal compressor today for
$325 thinking I could use an HVLP gun to spray lacquer with it. It's 3 hp
220 volt 15 amp. After poking around the net I'm not sure its possible.
Sticker says 11.8 SCFM at 40 PSI and 10.3 @ 90 PSI. Max pressure 135 PSI.
Anyone know if there's an HVLP gun that will shoot lacquer with a
compressor like this..? If so any HVLP gun recommendations..? Thanks
