You can if you have a big enough compressor to handle a HVLP conversion gun.
You have to compare your compressors output PSI and CFM to that required by
the gun,

Other option is a turbine unit which will come with most all of what you
need.. Inexpensive ones are available from Rockler and Harbor Freight.

The system works like any spray system, it combines air at a certain
pressure and volume with a fluid, atomizing the fluid and shooting it out of
the gun.

HVLP differs from conventional spraying because it uses the air volume
rather then the high pressure a conventional gun and compressor uses to do
the job.

The low pressure greatly reduces bounce back and over spray given a much
higher transfer rate then conventional systems.

I saw that Rockler is selling a HVLP system for $99.
I was wondering if anyone here has tried it?
