so looking to paint my celica. have lots of spare body panels to practice on first.have a 33 gallon compressor.but all i see are HVLP guns which require a bigger tank to help keep a steady flow. cant find any LVLP guns out there. can i just use the HVLP gun . ive painted many things before with good results but all were interior pieces with spray cans. will be first time using a gun.

A 33 gallon compressor will be plenty for an HVLP gun. As you mentioned, test everything on your extra panels until you have everything set up the way you want it.
