BTW, it's an HVLP system, not LVHP. The hose is 3/4".

Only a few of them fit 3/4" hose: https://www.mcmaster.com/#6534k123/=16tgqhz
perhaps?

Just to finish up the story. I found the quick connect connectors.
Who wudda thunk they'd be garden hose connectors. Now all I need is
to do is play in HD for a while to come up with a reasonable adapter
from a hose thread to 1/4" NPT.

I have a can full of those things....

They seem to come with the spray attachment sets nowadays (the sets that
all seem to last only a year).

I use my compressor to flush the irrigation system yearly and use these
connects to attach to the hose bib. I found cheap brass garden hose
repair fittings at the local WallyWorld, this get you to a 5/8" hose
barb. From there I soldered on a 1/4" brass nipple to get to a 1/4" MPT,
much cheaper than finding an adapter, but you can easily get a hose
thread to 3/4" pipe adapter (brass) and downsize from there (at a cost).
