I sprayed it with a siphon gun that I have. It is a favorite. I do have some HVLP guns too. HVLP consumes lots of air. You need to match the gun to your compressor CFM. A low compressor CFM may mean you need to wait for the compressor to catch up. This may be a problem depending on the paint used.

Here is is the airplane. An Ugly Stik, also a favorite. The whole airplane is covered with Koverall.
