Cool Compressor to paint my 10

What is the smallest compressor I can use to paint my 10? Has anyone used a hvlp to paint a truck. Thinking of using a wagner hvlp airless kit. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

You probably need to ask this question on the paint and body work section of the board.

I second that!! To small and you will just have to take more breaks while the air pressure builds back up. CFM is the key. Good steady air flow to the gun will help give a better finish.
