is a 5HP 25 Gallon air compressor big enough to paint with? my guns run 21psi in and 10psi while the paint is actually spraying out
 
it will work but i would recommend a much larger compressor. the tank will loose pressure really fast with spraying hvlp. make sure to run a moisture separator before hose and at the gun also with a small compressor as you will get moisture quicker since it will almost constantly be running.

also make sure its a continuous duty compressor or it could overheat and pop the fuse on the motor till it cools off.
