1.0 cfm at 30 psi sealed up to 150 psi double insulated. will this compressor do

Personally I'd get a 25-33 gallon 150psi compressor for painting. Pancakes don't cut it.

is the black and decker compressor i mentioned above ok?

You are going to want at least a 25 gallon. It will have to maintain a constant 30-40 psi. We have used the pancake style and it didn't keep up with an HVLP gun at only 15psi.
