Great pot Kevin !
I just bought a 2 1/2 pot from Harbor Freight for 39 bucks to use for staining concrete. I use a Capspray gun, and turbine. Use a small compressor to drive the pot.

The shiny metal air hose connectors at Harbor are junk... they leak, and compressor doesn't get to shut down. gonna return em.

BTW, the gun you show here is a conversion gun.
The conversion is all about changing the cone at the gun to approximate hvlp.
Maybe 50-60psi from compressor to gun, reduced at gun to about 20 - 25psi to atomize product with the conversion cap used on the standard gun.

Capspray IS hvlp.
My 9100 4 turbine Capspray puts out all of 8 - 10psi but has volume.
Turbine to gun hose is 3/4 diameter.
Internal passages in gun are larger, to pass bigger volume of air efficiently.
The gun can actually be converted to a constant flow setup for higher production rate by switching around the feed point for airflow.
Capspray gun also has available projector sets... Set has needle & tip & the cap. 1 - 5 for different viscosity fluids. Comes w #3 as standard. I use #4.

I WOULD like to have an agitator for the stains I am using so result is uniform from start of the load, to end. All we can do now is kick the pot as we pass by it, from time to time. We use 25ft feed hose from pot to gun.
Turbine to gun hose is 30ft.
